Summary of Rock Star
Chris Cole (MARK WAHLBERG) was born to rock. His longtime girlfriend Emily (JENNIFER ANISTON) believes Chris's talent could take him all the way - but instead of writing his own music Chris worships at the altar of Bobby Beers the fiery frontman for Steel Dragon the heavy metal rock legends that both inspire and consume his life. By day Chris still lives at home with his parents and spends his days repairing copy machines push-starting his sputtering Dodge Dart and fighting with his brother. But when Chris takes the stage all of that disappears. When he's fronting Blood Pollution Pennsylvania's premiere Steel Dragon tribute band Chris Cole is Bobby Beers - mesmerizing audiences with his perfect imitation of Beers' electrifying vocals and sexy snarl. Blood Pollution's low-rent recreation of the Dragon's elaborate arena shows drive the locals (including Chris's loving parents and amused choir director) into a head-banging hair-whipping frenzy. The night his bandmates boot him out of the group he founded Chris is devastated - until an unexpected phone call changes his life forever: he Chris Cole has been tapped to replace Bobby Beers as the lead singer of Steel Dragon. In an instant Chris rockets to the dizzying heights of sudden stardom rising from devotee to icon from the ultimate rock fan to the ultimate rock god - the wanna-be who got to be. So what happens when an average guy gets everything he wants... and discovers it's not enough?Running Time: 106 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 085392132720 Manufacturer No: 21327DVDIf you've ever indulged a rock & roll fantasy, Rock Star will give you the vicarious thrill of seeing that fantasy come to life. That's what happens when talented tribute-band singer Chris Cole (Mark Wahlberg) is tapped to replace his idol as frontman for 1980s metal gods Steel Dragon. Chris becomes the groupie-laden "Izzy," his manager girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston) grows weary of sex 'n' drugs on tour, and Rock Star plays out its utterly conventional plot line. Despite the casting of real rockers to support Wahlberg's underrated performance (nicely matched by Aniston and Timothy Spall as Steel Dragon's road manager), his character is too rigidly written to follow an obligatory rise and fall, and even its basis in fact (inspired by Tim "Ripper" Owens's recruitment into Judas Priest) can't conceal the movie's predictable formula. As a cautionary tale it's routine, but as a leather-pants love story, Rock Star's got enough good karma to keep its dream alive. --Jeff Shannon
