Are you ready for the hottest band in the land? It's 1978 in Detroit, and pretty much any teenager who isn't a total wimp is totally stoked for the upcoming Kiss concert (as anyone who ever listened to Kiss Alive! knows, Detroit has always loved this band). But four proud members of the Kiss Army find themselves without tickets to the show, and one has to deal with a mother who is convinced that Kiss and their music are evil incarnate. Will they be able to foil scalpers, security, and paranoid parents to witness the fire-spitting, blood-puking, hard rock frenzy that is Kiss on stage? Detroit Rock City stars Edward Furlong, Sam Huntington, Natasha Lyonne, Giuseppe Andrews, and James DeBello as the representative members of the Teenage Nation; the original four members of Kiss (Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss) play themselves, and Simmons also co-produced. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Incredibly funny, even campy & clownishly laugh-out-loud hilarious from the opening scene. A tour de force of teen-tween, youth trying to be in revolt, as they week to assert their identity and strive to have their music and listen to it too; then, go to the KISS music concert of their time! Adventure, romance, comedy, & drama--this one has it all for teens to parents to the middle-aged who were there! See it, live it, reminisce it, and love the music!
