I enjoyed this movie. It is not comic gold by any means but it has it's funny parts. It kind of reminds me of Farrelly Bros humor(unsure if they had anything to do with it, but I wouldn't be surprised). Well worth a watch.

I guess you have to be a Kiss fan to enjoy this movie, and I think Kiss rates right below the Archie's. The film isn't really that funny, it seems more like a feature length commercial for Kiss, than a comedy. The story is predictable, and doesn't offer anything new. The acting is passable, but nothing noteworthy or blow away amazing. Kiss fans probably love this movie, if you aren't a fan, you might not like it. 6/10.

This is one of those movies that usually had a good plot but it's really annoying to see it end up in an instant. The movie is all about 4 high school students who were into the rock genre as of the late 70's and they'll do anything just to get their hands on those concert tickets that they had just lost during the night just because of screwing up in a radio station contest. Almost half of the film was spent on including all these mini plots of each student as they do anything for the sake of those tickets or just money so that they can buy one. All of the mini scenes were nice and funny and they even insert a really touchy teenage love story which is definitely a plus but the whole film just faded away when the moment they entered the concert and nothing really special happened. The whole movie just ended up for that it really could have been better if they expanded it more.,
