    This is definitely a product of it's time. I don't think most of what's going on here would be acceptable by today's audiences. That said, I still get loads of entertainment out of it, maybe it's just nostalgia controlling me, or maybe it's the movie's sense of fun, partying and teenage rebellion that keep me hooked. Whatever it is, I'll continue watching and having fun with it.

    If your 14-18, you need to see this movie. The feeling of freedom, purity and rawness the characters give is special. Any lost soul, or outcast will feel like they have a home. Rock on kids!!!!

    Campy and goofy, hits all the right notes and does exactly what it should. An awesome rock-buddy comedy that fulfills and ignites the rock star flame in all its die-hard viewers.

    I loved it. It's fun to watch coming of age stories about groups of male friends. I love how non PC this film is and it's entertaining and fun. Almost Famous is one of my favorite films of all time and this one was great too. It's very optimistic and that is missing from today's marketing driven films.

    legal pra caralho, roteiro bacana, o elenco é legal, gostei dos 4 rockeiros querendo ir para o show do kiss, por qualquer coisa, o filme teve a maiorias da cenas boas e poucas fracas. mas é um filme que recomendo muito, vale a pena assistir.

    This is one of my favorite rock 'n' roll comedies. It's the 1970's and four high school stoner buddies have their hearts set on driving to Detroit and seeing their favorite band, Kiss. It's a fairly simple concept; all the guys are likable, and they all have their own trials that they have to overcome near the third act of the movie. So even though the premise is high school kids going to see a show, this never gets boring. Also I wont spoil it here, but I always felt the ending to this movie was pretty damn brilliant. "they have to let us in, I mean... they have to!" I'm sure some would see this as a dumb comedy, but... I do see quite a bit of heart in this. It's really a flick about four friends, who set out on what should be a fairly simple thing, and chaos ensues. This movie also has a killer soundtrack; Kiss, Cheap Trick, The Sweet, Thin Lizzy, and a little AC/DC and Black Sabbath thrown in there too. Even the opening credits are worth noting for it's montage of 70's pop culture. The direction does have a offbeat style, but that is where a lot of the charm in this movie is. In the very least, if you are a fan of road trip movies, classic rock music; or let alone Kiss... then I say it's a must see.

    Fantastic especially for diehard KISS fans. This fun lets you take a trip back in

    A film that can be revisited often. Possibly one of the best comedys of my generation.
