A joking history of American rock music

The film takes Dewey Cox (Cox, reminiscent of cocks), a fictional rock star as the main character. It ridicules the development of American rock music in the 50s and 80s in a way similar to Forrest Gump's ridicule of modern American political events: from blues to Rockabilly, To folk songs, psychedelic rock, to Funk and Disco. Even Hardcore Punk, the film did not forget to arrange an episode to make it funny. Sex, drugs, fame, these things that are inseparable from rock and even the entire show business, also dominate the life of the protagonist Dewey.

Perhaps only friends who are familiar with the history of American rock music can fully appreciate the comedy color of the film. For example, the ridicule and imitation of many famous figures and bands in the rock music industry are often hilarious. The only regret is the end of the film, which is not free from the perfect stereotypes of beautiful films. But for comedy films, perhaps this is the most appropriate. In short, for friends who like rock music, this is a movie worth watching, at least for FUN!

    It's a pity I'm not a big fan of every spoofed rock band character, otherwise it would have been happier
