The dedicated lead singer of tribute band is called upon to be the front man of the rock 'n' roll band he idolizes.
What starts off as a rather funny spoof-like comedy turns into a light, predictable drama. There's a definite appeal here for music fans and Wahlberg handles this role well.
Among the real-life rockers assembled for the film are Jason Bonham and Verve Pipe's Brian Vander Ark.
Fans of light drama and 1980's hair bands should find a lot to like in Rock Star.
