Just finished watching this and had to toss out that I found it pretty fun. Low budget, cliche perhaps, but still enjoyable for what it is. Brought back a, ahem, variety, of memories…glad I saw the band with full craziness going on back when.
I love this movie, not a great one by any means but a good way to kill 90 mins. "That ain't no bird! That's a hunk of f***** cheese"
I'm not a fan of Kiss, but I remember playing this movie once on my tour guide days to entertain the tourists and I enjoyed it a lot. I never bought it on DVD but I bought the new BD release and I enjoyed it as hell, I loved it after all those years since the first time I watched it.
They filmed all the high school shots at my high school, we were pretty excited to see this when it came out!
I'm a few minutes into this and it does seem fun. That's an improvement over forum adored "Almost Famous" which I hate for being candy coated and artificial. Saw "Dazed and Confused" recently and liked it much more. Maybe I'm too fussy about the era being depicted faithfully. Now here in DRC I have spotted one guy with extra long hair and I hope he isn't the movie required hard core pot smoker who smokes so much (continually) he should keel over and collapse or think he's dying.
Love this flick. Saw it on a whim in the theater and had a blast, and became a classic KISS fan as a result.
A really fun movie. Some classic things in it like the kids saying to the disco nerds "No way would Kiss go disco!" I also laughed at one of the professional strippers names - Sir Loin! Gene Simmons' wife plays the cougar.
