Disco sucks! “KISS boredom goodbye and get ready to ROCK!” “Detroit Rock City Rocks!”

It’s 1978: bell-bottoms, day-glo, lava lamps and rock-n-roll define the generation. What’s a high-school rock band from Cleveland got on their mind? Getting out and hitting the city: Detroit Rock City! Join Hawk (Edward Furlong, American History X, Terminator 2: Judgement Day) and his three best friends as they head out to pay their respects to the kings of rock, KISS, in this “rousingly funny”* adventure! Nothing’s going to stop these guys, not Mom (Lin Shaye, There’s Something About Mary, Kingpin) a hot lady (Shannon Tweed, Playboy) or even a disco lovin’ girl (Natasha Lyonne, American Pie, Slums of Beverly Hills) rescued from the side of the highway. Teen People says “We want to rock & roll all night and watch Detroit Rock City every day!” Part road-trip, part coming-of-age comedy, part crazy ride through the 70s, this movie rocks and rolls all the way through!
