If youve ever indulged a rock & roll fantasy, Rock Star will give you the vicarious thrill of seeing it come to life. Thats what happens when talented tribute-band singer Chris Cole is tapped to replace his idol as frontman for 1980s metal gods Steel Dragon. Chris becomes the groupie-laden Izzy, his manager/girlfriend grows weary of sex n drugs on tour, & Rock Star plays out its utterly conventional plot line. Despite the casting of real rockers to support Wahlbergs underrated performance , his character is too rigidly written to follow an obligatory rise & fall, & even its basis in fact cant conceal the movies predictable formula. As a cautionary tale its routine, but as a leather-pants love story, Rock Stars got enough good karma to keep its dream alive .
