Storyline

In 1978, a Kiss concert was an epoch-making event. For the four teen fans in Detroit Rock City getting tickets to the sold-out show becomes the focal point of their existence. They'll do anything for tickets -- compete in a strip club's amateur-night contest, take on religious protesters, even rob a convenience store!

Rifkin's yoof comedy hits a lot of easy buttons, but it's ultimately rather charming.

A valentine to sex, drugs, and cutting school.

Much like the rock group it celebrates, Detroit Rock City is so brazenly moronic that it ends up seemingly brilliant for all the right reasons.

...a briskly-paced, unabashedly larger-than-life comedy...
