Truly raunchy but it's more sweetly stupid and silly than anything.
A very sweet, very funny coming-of-age story, featuring Kiss as the Great White Whale of adolescence.
It'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.
A mildly diverting comedy but has little of real substance to recommend it.
Well, it could have been good. But this goofy homage to Kiss fans gets dry mouth pretty fast.
The cast never has much chance to shine. And the main attraction is kept all too understandably under wraps.
This 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.
