Rock Of Ages takes campy fun from Broadway to the silver screen

Adam Shankman’s 118-minute Rock Of Ages has an abundance of energy, color and spirit that will satisfy young and old—if the audience is willing to put up with clunky clichés, as well as the way Hollywood sanitizes the 1980s West Hollywood scene.

The setting may have changed, but the elements of the story line differ little, say, from musicals such as 42nd Street.
