75While it's possible to have a great time with the movie without having any interest in Kiss, it should be noted that the band does make an appearance.
-
75Truly raunchy but it's more sweetly stupid and silly than anything.
-
70A very sweet, very funny coming-of-age story, featuring Kiss as the Great White Whale of adolescence.
-
70It's crude, sexist, ear-splittingly loud and a helluva lotta fun for anyone suffering from past or present testosterone overload.
-
70Unlike the many youth movies that can't overcome their makers' hindsight, this one may actually put you in an adolescent frame of mind.
-
63Detroit Rock City possesses three characteristics: an irreverent attitude, a high energy approach, and a loud soundtrack. While these qualities don't necessarily add up to a good movie, they keep the proceedings from becoming dull.
-
50The tuneful melodies of their favourite band grace the soundtrack, but let's not confuse this with a rock 'n' roll movie -- the music is just the blank canvas awaiting the higher art of the gross-out.
-
50It's not a full-on go-for-broke love letter to rock 'n' roll or a broad, joyous spoof, but something stuck awkwardly in between.
-
There's an awful lot of rocking out going on in Detroit Rock City, but then rocking out is this occasionally clever but lifeless movie's reason for being.
-
30If you love KISS, you'll probably see this movie anyway. If you don't, there's no point.
-
30A mildly diverting comedy but has little of real substance to recommend it.
-
30Well, it could have been good. But this goofy homage to Kiss fans gets dry mouth pretty fast.
-
25A rock 'n' roll film should be funny-crazy -- not just a big, dumb promo for some over-the-hill dudes in makeup who are trying to sell today's kids on yesterday's glory by championing deliquency.
-
25It's an utterly fake nostalgia piece -- stupid and pandering, a bad-boy teen flick that plays less like a loving look at the late '70s than a terrible movie from the late '70s.
-
20The cast never has much chance to shine. And the main attraction is kept all too understandably under wraps.
-
10Such a stupid, painfully obvious, gratingly unfunny dud that it's unlikely to please even the most gullible and easy-to-please members of the Kiss army.
-
10This aggressively stupid film is merely business as usual, a compendium of all the current obsessions and fixations that make so many of these films such unhappy experiences.
-
10A turgid, unfunny, out-of-time rockspolitation movie.
