Rock of Ages poster

Why people love it

Rock of Ages (2012) stuck because it commits to its comedy premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Adam Shankman's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The comedy and drama blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
