Reviews

Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Even though it's weak in the final stages, Rock Star has more than enough sparkle to last you. That's chiefly thanks to Wahlberg, the main firework of this movie.
70
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
A genial look at what happens when a wannabe becomes a headliner, Rock Star only stumbles when it decides it has to deliver a lesson about What's Really Important.
63
Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
Its familiar story has pleasing quirks.
50
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
Rock Star sinks into a morass of melodrama.
50
TV Guide Magazine - Ken Fox
Herek does capture the rush and crush of a stadium concert, and the music (more Leppard than Priest) isn't half bad -- in a disposable, arena-rock sort of way.
