Detroit Rock City

Pros: Great soundtrack, some very funny moments
Cons: who makes a movie about KISS?

Detroit Rock City is about 4 teenagers who must battle against disco lovers, Bible thumping parents, and the law in order to get tickets to see KISS in Detroit. It is very funny, although it relies mostly on physical humor, so why did it bomb?

...

Pros: The cast is genius(Edward's best performance yet), the movie is a fun ride.
Cons: Story is simple, the movie just isn't that funny.

I wasn't even born when the rock and somewhat freakish looking band came out. It was in the 70s and this film is set in the 70s but was filmed in 1999. Edward Furlong, Giuseppe Andrews, Sam Huntington and James DeBello are in a band named Mystery ...

Pros: Funny story, great soundtrack during the film
Cons: I'd say they accomplish a bit much in the few hours they have to do these things

It would seem that everyone who wrote reviews of this film has found the need to state whether or not they are KISS fans. So, like a sheep, I shall follow the herd. Mattjoe was never a KISS fan, nor a member of the Kiss Army, I own no Gene Simmons Dolls,...

Pros: KISS fans will enjoy
Cons: non-KISS fans will loathe

Being a 1970's KISS fan, (I no longer follow them) I had to check out this movie. I actually saw it in the theater when it first came out and was first taken in by the introduction to the movie. The opening sequence of credits is a montage of 1970's...

Pros: A great laugh about 1978
Cons: Kiss- but it's not that bad

If you have some time on your hands and you want to laugh yourself silly this is the movie for you.

The movie is about four high schoolers who have a garage band and they play covers of Kiss. They want to go to the big city, Detroit, to see...

Pros: Laughs, laughs, and more laughs. If you like KISS then it's also good.
Cons: You're either really into it or not into it at all

One of my friends asked me if I had ever seen this movie, and my reply was no. She immediately sped to the closest Blockbuster and chose it as our evening entertainment. I ended up watching it nonstop that weekend, and I was laughing so hard my sides...

Pros: DeBello and Lyonne are refreshing. Has many humorous moments, Great Soundtrack. If you're a late 70's kid, you'll have a flashback!
Cons: Disparaging view towards organized religion, Not for younger viewers

I didn't plan on watching this movie. This was a movie that was rented by my lovely bride for the onslaught of teenagers that were going to be hanging out in our house one recent weekend. I had seen some clips of the film in theaters, and it was on my...

Pros: Laughter, great soundtrack, Just a good time.
Cons: None really- I liked it.

I must say, I started out watching this movie with no enthusiasm at all. And I have to say that I ended up impressed and into the movie.

Four high school rockers are die hard Kiss fans. They have missed out on seeing them in concert three...

Pros: One or two funny moments
Cons: Sex, profanity by the ton, no redeeming social merit whatsoever

I rented "Detroit Rock City" because I vividly remember KISS-mania and KISS-paranoia. When I was 12 the rumor that KISS stood for "Knights in Satan's Service" was widely circulated, and widely believed. Being forbidden, KISS became...

Pros: You'll get a chuckle of recognition here and there, and you'll get your buttons pushed.
Cons: Detroit Rock City isn't a bad film, but I wouldn't rush out to see it.

In the spirit of full disclosure, let me start by saying I am not now, nor ever have been, a fan of Kiss. I grew up in their heyday, but managed to avoid the loud freak show. That being said, you'll forgive me if I don't say Detroit Rock City is the best...

Pros: Cameos by KISS
Cons: KISS should of been in it more

I LOVE the Rock and Roll Band KISS. They're the GREATEST!! Detroit Rock City is about what four teenagers will do for tickets to the most awesome rock band ever!! The things that they are willing to go through is unbelievable. These are four crazy...

Pros: Likable and fun
Cons: KISS? I mean, really. KISS?

It’s 1999. No one cares about KISS anymore. How about making a teen comedy about a bunch of kids that go to see a KISS concert in 1977? The timing of Detroit Rock City is bad – it comes on the heels of nearly a dozen other teen movies. It’s a gross-out...

Pros: Good humor, Great fun
Cons: It's only ninety minutes long.

I can't believe how absolutely hilarious this movie was. I wasn't expecting the amount of hilarity that I saw.

The basic storyline goes as such. Four members of a garage band dubbed 'Mystery' are set on going to a KISS concert in detroit. But...

Pros: Hilarious. Great nostalgia for anyone in their 30's.
Cons: It will offend Catholics - especially if they have no sense of humour.

Scenario: You've travelled to a city to attend the concert event of your lifetime, only to find out you don't have tickets. You've got only a couple of hours to make enough money to buy some more - what do you do?

This is the situation faced...

Pros: funny movie
Cons: none

When my fiance rented this movie I just looked at him and said you've got to be kidding me! I saw the previews for it and it looked stupid to me so I didn't want to even bother wasting my money on it. I am so glad he did! The movie kept me laughing from...
