Probably most surprising is Tom Cruise, who can really belt out some good tunes and was fun to watch as arrogant rocker Stacee Jaxx. All of the actors are quite capable singers, with Hough and Boneta doing a relatively decent job carrying the leadbut weakstoryline. What propels the film are the musical numbers: classic late '80s rock songs whose lyrics drive the story forward. You can probably figure out where things are going to gothere are no real twists in the film and the plot is fairly predictable. As all of this is occurring, Stacee's manager (Paul Giamatti) has set up an interview for Jaxx with Rolling Stone's Constance Sacks (Malin Akerman), but things might happen between them as well. But when Patricia Whitmore (Catherine Zeta-Jones), the religious conservative wife of Mayor Mike Whitmore (Bryan Cranston), hears about the concert, she rallies her church to protest the concert and shut down the Bourbn Room because of the negative image LA has gotten due to rock 'n' roll on the Sunset Strip.Īfter Arsenal's opening act cancels, Drew's band has an opportunity to make it bigbut his success might affect the blossoming relationship with Sherrie.

The Bourbon Room seems to be one of the hottest joints on the Sunset Strip, but it's in serious financial trouble.
