Ermahgad! Watching this totally made me wish that I had gone to see it while it was on stage in Toronto.
Won’t lie though, Tom Cruise was a little awkward to watch in that role. I personally don’t see him as a sex symbol, so him walking around shirtless and in that role was a litte unconvincing for me. He was good, but meh. Malin Ackerman is awesome, and I will say that their duet was awesome. Another Russell Brand movie for me, and he’s awesome in his side role. Catherine Zeta-Jones is always amazing in musicals [and everything else she does].
I’m a diehard fan of musicals, and this one did not disappoint. Even if I didn’t really know all the songs [old school rock not my best genre], it was catchy and I feel like it fit the generation that was happening at the time. The switch from rock to 90’s pop boybands. As I was just a young’n back in those days, I was definitely more into the pop boybands than rock. I can appreciate rock a little better now that I’m older.
