Rock of Ages?

Wow, so the other day I went out and saw Rock of Ages. I expected it to be quite, bad, but not as bad as it was when I saw it. Well...

Oh right! The spoilers. Psht, doesn't matter. Maybe after you read this review you don't want to watch it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Rock of Ages, a movie-musical-like movie that involves multiple plots. One plot is a girl named Sherrie from a small town in Oklahoma. She ventures on to LA to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. She is robbed first thing by a random man, but acquires a job at the Bourbon, a famous Rock-bar, due to the help of Drew, a man who works at the bar. Meanwhile, the bar owner, Dennis, and his right-handman, Lonny, attempt to pay of taxes they haven't paid in years. Not paying the taxes were threatened by the Los Angeles mayor Mike Whitmore's wife, Patricia. She is a advocate of destroying rock n' roll in the city of Los Angeles. In a church, she voices her decision and reasons that rock n' roll displaces hateful music. While this happens, Sherrie and Drew build up a relationship, but slowly diminishes when Drew becomes the opening act for Stacee Jaxx at the Bourbon. Drew sees that Sherrie just came out of the dressing room with Stacee, but also that Stacee just pulled his pants up. Drew signs to Jaxx's record label, but converts to hip hop music by his manager. Stacee becomes a stripper at a strip club.

I'm not going to reveal the end. I think its just so scattered everywhere.

Now for the review.

I like Julianne Hough, but this movie was just terrible. The plot was scattered around and the acting was quite spotty. It was an awkward movie with random musical outburst at random moments. At some points when you would just expect an outburst of music, nothing happens. It's filled with awkward sex jokes at awkward moments. I just have serious displeasure to this movie.

This is a hard movie to fully veto. Yes I show much displeasure to it, however, it's really a movie that you can like if it is your taste. For me, I do say it's a veto, but you can watch it if you like.
