saw the Broadway show twice. it’s the same tone as the trailer and was the most fun musical i’ve ever been to. all the classic hair band songs. people singing along. it’s Mamma Mia for dudes.
soft soft soft. hairband lovers around the world are sealing their eyes shut with aquanet.
Marty DiBergi: “This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, ‘What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn’t he have rested on that day too?”
I’m so sick of Tom Cruise- looks like a nightmare to me
Bombs away…….
Truly awful.
Glee for Gen X’ers.
Between We Built this City – easily the worst example of “corporate rock” from the 80s – and the “they’re not girl – guys with long hair” (wow – I didn’t realize THAT started in 1987). Pathetic.
This is probably better than it looks. Just needs a trailer re-cut, with less frenetic energy, more time to let the good stuff breathe. We don’t need to see the story, just a few great moments. And of course, a little more Tom Cruise, from the front not the back.
If I were doing the marketing for this film, I’d buy lots of ads on Bravo and absolutely none during Sunday football…..get my meaning?
Guessing this movie is going to need overseas business to make money so completely surprised they seem to be featuring Hough (yawn). Love or hate Cruise his name will drive the box office in the states and abroad. Trailer makes it look like he’s doing a cameo.
Awful.
Wow. Shouldn’t it be called VH1: Behind the Music – The Musical.
The cast of the recent revival of “Hair” were going on and on about how Hair was the voice of its generation.
Well, fuck no.
Hair was the show that people in suits went to see on Broadway. Anyone with long, beautiful hair thought the show was putrid drivel.
This is the 2010s version of that. You can’t synthesize that period with a film starring Tom Cruise and Julianne Hough. Only Russell Brand has the basic drughead background in that cast and the fact that he didn’t die with a needle in his arm disqualifies him, too.
Again, Hollywood has to learn that what looks good on a Broadway stage from fifty feet away can look pretty lame on the big screen.
This confirms what I already knew. Diego Boneta is not a movie star
I love that joke about the dudes with the long hair, but I loved it even more in the intro to THREE’S COMPANY a hundred years ago.
The person who suggested this is a movie for dudes, I think you mean for dudes at a dude ranch who wear assless chaps. Nice try. DOA
Was that Alec Baldwin butchering Joan Jett’s song at the end of the trailer? Are the ACTORS in this film gonna do the SINGING?
And are Hollywood hotties who’ve passed their expiration date gonna play a shrill pack of overacting Christian harpies as villains?
It looks like GREASE by the Sex Pistols. Ugh.
For anyone who cares, Jane’s Addiction has a new record out. Do yourself a favor and listen to it immediately to get this soulless dreck out of your mind. Two things that don’t go great together: Tom Cruise and Hair Metal. If the couch didn’t kill him, this surely will.
Poor C.A.A. His Scientology lunacy has boxed them into a corner and it would do so at any agency. It has ruined his ability to play real characters. It has ruined his ability to be perceived as a real actor by audiences. Here are the performance apps : facial tics; over-the-top; “General Hospital” intensity; stunts; and running. He used to be so great before Scientology set him up to exploit him and he took the bait. Compare his choices at his age to people who he might call mentors or inspirations like Paul Newman and Steve McQueen at the same age. Clooney, Damon, Day Lewis, DiCaprio, Penn, Nicholson, Streep…these are movie stars who are actors; they use what clout they have to BE movie stars who play parts that explore the human condition and they’re all magnificent. And save Day Lewis (so far) they all try to exhibit a playful side too. Look at all of the actors in town who wish to do the same, who only dream of the clout that Cruise squandered, in order to please David Miscavige. Cruise’s once considerable talent has been reduced by his “best friend” to the acting vocabulary of a circus animal. (See : Oprah Winfrey in “Beloved.”) Shankman’s fun. My guess is the movie will make money maybe lots of it. But it will be for the nostalgia, the musicality, and Shankman’s execution as well as a fun cast particularly Catherine Zeta-Jones. And the “curiosity factor” of seeing Glazed Doughnut Eyes emoting in song. The studio’s being smart. I would guess that they’re gonna be pimping that (his C.F.) more than Cruise himself.
Thank you Bert Fields. Scientology Humanity Enabler of the Millennium. Now THAT’S what wiretapping is for. To grow the business. Like, for instance…as in politics…
Plus, you know, Fast and Furious Mexican drug kingpins…I’ll bet they love Journey and “Don’t Stop Believin’” just like all the other foreign tourists who flock to Broadway musicals.
whoa, tell us more!!
(also, Tony Ortega at the Village Voice might want to hear more about Bert Fields)
Looks terrible and who is the audience for this? Catherine Zeta-Jones can’t act. And the monkey? Maybe the audience represents the audience for this musical junk.
Can Shankman only make films targeted to gay/elderly audiences now? At one point I thought he was going to be a great director of comedies. Boy was I wrong.
His best work in the last decade has been as a reality show judge. Disappointing!
Where’s the Cruise? Might even be enough to make this not suck so badly.
Boy, that was a LONG trailer! Lots of Alec Baldwin … wonder if they’ll show this on American? Malin Ackerman looked great.
Yes, a tad stuck in the past. Don’t know about thos one – seemed like the trailer for that SEX THE CITY-sequel and BURLESQUE.
Ouch!
Can we get another movie with Baldwin, Cruise and Giamatti? Please?
RIP Tom Cruise’s career 1981-2012
