I too enjoyed this, light hearted cheesiness exactly as I expected. It looks like we are the only 2 who think so. 8/10

Glad I'm not the only one, Diane65! Thought it would get more positive reviews...

Meh this was hardly worth the effort it took to travel to the cinema. So many characters and so many stories, it is difficult to engage or care about anyone, and most of them were boring. No couple had any chemistry and some of the pairs felt awkward and badly matched. The subplots were all dull and such lazy efforts were made to make the stories overlap. It was distinctly lacking on the 'rom' and 'com'.

It was interesting watching the famous faces appear in such one dimensional roles. Two points to note:
Katherine Heigl needs to re-do her roots
Michelle Pfeiffer looks sooooo old!

The best part was the blooper reel over the end.

3/10.

Super silly and cheesy and disappointed that in between the gazillion ads for snack food, Toshiba computers, the new Sherlock Holmes movie and Mama Mia the Musical they couldn't squeeze in one for Rock of Ages (it is Times Square after all! There was a serious lack of musical posters), yet I still laughed on more than one occassion; particularly so at the I-am-almost-ashamed-to-admit-this Zac Efron storyline (the silly dance at the end, lol). 7/10
