Synopsis: Chris Cole was born to rock. His longtime girlfriend Emily believes his talent could take him all the way- but Chris worships at the altar of Bobby Beers, the fiery frontman for heavy metal legends Steel Dragon. By day, Chris still lives at home with his parents and spends his days repairing copy machines. But when Chris takes the stage, fronting Pennsylvania's premiere Steel Dragon tribute band, all of that disappears. Chris Cole is Bobby Beers- mesmerizing audiences with his perfect imitation of Beers' electrifying vocals. The night his bandmates boot him out of the group, Chris is devastated- until an unexpected phone call changes his life forever: He, Chris Cole, has been tapped to replace Bobby Beers as the lead singer of Steel Dragon. In an instant, Chris rockets to the dizzying heights of sudden stardom, rising from devotee to icon, from rock fan to rock god- the wanna-be who got to be. So what happens when an average guy gets everything he wants- and discovers it's not enough?
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Flemyng, Timothy Olyphant, Timothy Spall
Directed by: Stephen Herek
U.S. Rating: R
A really entertaining movie that shows both sides of any rock star wannabe. The dark and wild side of fame with all its effects and influences (drugs, sex, irresponsible behavior, etc), and the bright side of any person who persues his or her dreams and grabs those unique opportunities received in our lives, along with those opportunities to recognize those values and things that really matters in our lives. Mark Wahlberg plays an excelent role as the rock star wannabe and Jennifer Aniston as his loyal sweetheart who stays with him along the way and different stages in his professional and personal life.

What did I like from this movie?
1. I knew Mark Wahlberg was part of the New Kids on the Block crew, being brother of one of the members of this group, but I never expected that he could sing as good as he sang on this movie.
2. The funny side of the story, when his brother critized him for being a rock star wannabe but he loved Air Supply! A cop calling his mom to defend him from his younger brother, or when he was rejected on social events, like the parties after the concerts.
3. How good this plot described both extreme sides of life and success, the dark and wild side of success and fame and the bright side of personal recognition on those things that really matters in life.
