Reviews

Washington Post -
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.

|
Los Angeles Times -
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.
|
|
Charlotte Observer -
Its familiar story has pleasing quirks.
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
Rock Star sinks into a morass of melodrama.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
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.
