Rock of Ages

Tom Cruise as a Rock Star?? He is soooo miscast in this tribute to the eighties flick. Cruise pretty much ruins the whole movie because he brings in too much baggage from all the roles in starred in prior. Even if they cast the movie with an unknown this wanna be musical would be too cheesy to rank anywhere near the last great movie musical Chicago. Speaking of Chicago Catherine Zeta-Jones returns singing and dancing in this movie but sad to say she will not get an Oscar for this flick. The mash up music is ok until you hear Mary J. Blige sing. Her voice is amazing but when you see her on screen she could have forgone eating Ho Ho’s before she went to bed. Finally can Hollywood tell Ryan Seacrest that  his alleged girlfriend, Julianne Hough, cannot act and she is better served going back to Dancing with the Stars.

Verdict:

A monkey named Hey Man steals the movie (Really). That’s how poor the acting is. This movie makes my list of worst movies of 2012.
