5.0 out of 5 stars A bizarrely funny comedy about a last dregs rock 'n' roll band, February 11, 2010

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drop Dead Rock (DVD)

Drop Dead Rock is a bizarrely funny comedy about a last dregs rock 'n' roll band called Hindenburg that kidnap the great British rock star Spazz-O, and hold him hostage to expose him to their music and thus garner fame. But Spazz-O's ex-porn star wife and her ruthless manager will benefit immensely if Spazz-O dies, and they've hired a hitman to make it happen. A media rush shoots Spazz-O's hype into the stratosphere, and the wealth of an eager media mogul makes Spazz-O worth more alive than dead! It's an all-out free-for-all between an inept rock band of kidnappers, a murderous assassin, frenzied media hounds and more in this laugh-out-loud funny adventure that cuts every sacred cow of the rock world down to size. Highly recommended. Not rated, 93 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Laughs, December 6, 2009

By 

Old Hickory (New York, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drop Dead Rock (DVD)

A lot of big laughs in this film, especially whenever Spazz-O is on screen. He's a riot and reminds me of Gordon Ramsey in "Hell's Kitchen." He's just brutal and mean and a real jerk - and hilarious. Overall, the whole film feels like a live-action cartoon with crazy action and sound effects - all of which is a good thing. Who would've imagined that a band named "Hindenburg" would go down in flames and have to resort to kidnapping?

5.0 out of 5 stars All That Spazz..., December 4, 2009

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Drop Dead Rock (DVD)

It's a pleasure (and not a guilty one) to see this quirky rollicking 90s sleeper finally done right on DVD. Co-written by director Dubin (himself a member of the wacky rock ensemble The Stoned) and Ric Menello (co-author of 2009's best American flick, Two Lovers), DDR treads the well-worn tracks of filmdom's teen 101 safety net plot: the misadventures of an aspiring R `N R group, but does so as no previous entry has ever done. Its sharp, satiric and even brutal comedic approach/attack on the music industry recalls the vitriolic quill of George Axelrod (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?; Lord Love a Duck). Imagine Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Friz Freleng and Frank Tashlin forming a garage band, and you have an idea of what an animated version might be like. Had it been made two decades earlier, and across the pond, it might have been Carry On Rocking - and I can think of no higher praise!
