This is Aniston's best role and her best movie. In fact, Chris is as pathetic as a guy can be and still have Jennifer Aniston for his girlfriend - not too pathetic. But he's in his mid-20s and he's worshiping nonsense, so it's pathetic. The sight of Wahlberg, with his wide-open face, jubilant and beaming at a Steel Dragon show, brings a mix of emotions. Mark Wahlberg, with that weird, complicated innocence he has, is ideal as Chris, an obsessive fan who sings in a tribute band and lives for his idols, the British rock group Steel Dragon. "Rock Star" succeeds, not only thanks to Stephen Herek's direction and John Stockwell's screenplay, but by virtue of a soundtrack featuring good, loud music written for the movie.
But to do it in a way that also conveys its grandeur, its moments of glory and its allure - that takes work. He goes from dreaming a dream to living it, from obsessing about rock stars to being one, from screaming from the front row of a concert to soaking up the love, center stage.Īlong the way, the picture hits every heavy-metal cliche, breathing life into most with the odd detail that lends authenticity: A dissipated rock star gets a complete blood transfusion backstage before an arena show band members' wives ride in a limousine behind a tour bus while their husbands entertain groupies.Ĭapturing the ridiculousness of heavy metal is easy.

"Rock Star" is an irresistible movie about a guy who goes on a journey, the kind an audience can't wait to take with him.
