Rock of Ages - review

Release your inner rock god as you take a trip down the Sunset Strip with rock anthems guiding you through your journey of Rock & Roll during the 80’s.

Small town girl Sherrie (Julianne Hough) has a dream of becoming a singer in LA, so with the blessing of her grandma she heads to Hollywood in the hope of finding fame, but with her luggage robbed as soon as she steps off the bus, her dream is tatters until she’s helped by local bartender Drew Boley.

Drew also has dreams of stardom, but with the need for money more important, he hides his ambition and spends his days and nights working for Dennis Dupree the owner of the hippest bar in town – The Bourbon Room.

As Sherrie is offered a job as a waitress alongside Drew, her start in LA is looking up, but as rock legend Staccee Jaxx arrives on the scene to boost the image of the club and protesters attempt to rid the city of rock and roll, both their careers take off in unexpected directions.

With an all star cast including Tom Cruise, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin & Catherine Zeta Jones, this movie had me smiling and dancing the whole way through – based on the musical (which I loved) – this is definitely one to watch!
