 Detroit Rock City Detroit Rock City Quote: Detroit Rock City is a 1999 film about four teenagers in a Kiss cover band who try to see their idols in Detroit in 1978. Comparable to Rock 'n' Roll High School, Dazed and Confused, The Stöned Age, and I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Detroit Rock City tells a coming of age story through a filter of 1970's music and culture in the United States. Originally titled The Kiss Movie[citation needed], the movie ultimately took its title from the Kiss song of the same name. Although it bombed at the box office, grossing fewer than five million dollars domestically, it has since become a cult classic for Kiss fans, rock music fans and metalheads in general.
The film was shot at Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, and other Ontario locations. Other Ontario locations include Copps Coliseum, Hamilton, Ontario

This is a story about four kids in 1978 trying to get into a Kiss concert while one of the guys' mom tries to prevent them from doing so. The movie is really rather amusing, albeit very very stupid. Some of the jokes are simply lame, while others work, but none actually made me laugh out loud. The ending is a little bit abrupt. Overall, a somewhat entertaining film with nice references to the time period it takes place in.

Most people I know hold it in this really high esteem, like it's this ultimate movie or something. Maybe it's different where you gusy live.
