I get the sense that there's a real "hey, let's put on a show!" feel to it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 10:04

- It's convivial and well intended with an absolutely glorious takedown of early 90s boy bands. - David Jun 18, 09:51 7
  - Curious...is that an issue with the film? or more likely with the stage show...and then the film? -- nm - Jim Jun 18, 10:12 6
    - As I understand it, there are dramatic changes from the play. Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't even in the play and she's the villain. -- nm - David Jun 18, 10:35
    - I think some of it is the film - some of the dialogue is rotten. - Kim Pine Jun 18, 10:19 4
      - Class of '89 here, so it's right in my wheelhouse as well. I'll still probably wait for DVD though. -- nm - Jim Jun 18, 10:24 3
        
        I think it's a movie most people will wait to watch on DVD but it's worth a look. -- nm - David Jun 18, 10:36
        
        Just get the soundtrack. You can figure out the movie without even having to watch. - Kim Pine Jun 18, 10:25 1
        
        (but admittedly I will probably go see it again) - Kim Pine Jun 18, 10:25
- Tom Cruise's version of Pour Some Sugar On Me is better than the original! -- nm - David si Jun 18, 09:50 11

      - I didn't miss it and Roger More knows better! - Epiphany ( Lawbreaker) Jun 18, 10:13 4
        
        I like Def Leppard, and think they're a lot of fun. But they're a guilty pleasure band. -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 10:27 3
        
        If you tell me you listened to High N Dry all the way through - Epiphany Jun 18, 10:52
        
        They're the greatest band of all time. - David Jun 18, 10:34 1
        
        David is not crazy - Epiphany Jun 18, 10:47 1
  - As an aside, I love the reverential treatment Def Leppard gets in comparison to other 80s bands. -- nm - David Jun 18, 09:52 3
    - True, but making the joke about Wanted Dead or Alive just wouldn't work. -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 09:55
    - dude's got one arm, can't pick on a dude with one arm -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 09:52 1
