About
If you enjoy over-the-top, sex-and-drugs Hollywood satire with a cult vibe and plenty of musical numbers, this could hit the spot; Not for you if you want a focused plot or subtle humor like Fame.
Pros: catchy rock tunes; wild camp energy; memorable party scenes | Cons: thin wandering story; uneven acting; lots of nudity
