Rock Of Ages is a 2012 musical movie adaptation of the 2006 Chris D'Arienzo Broadway musical of the same name.It features the acting talents of Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige, amongst many others, and its soundtrack includes the music of Jon Bon Jovi , Def Leppard, Foreigner, Journey, Poison, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, Scorpions, David Lee Roth, Guns N' Roses, Extreme, Quiet Riot, Skid Row, Starship, Quarterflash, Night Ranger, Twisted Sister, Warrant, REO Speedwagon, it goes on and on and on and on.The film differs from the original musical in that the main antagonists, a greedy developer and his son hoping to develop the area where the Bourbon Room is located, are replaced by a mayor and his wife campaigning against rock music as part of their attempt to clean up the town as well as for petty personal reasons. The character of Stacee Jaxx is a more sympathetic character in the film and Sherrie and Drew get a happier ending.

 Rock of Ages / int_16e94b0a
comment
Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: Stacee Jaxx, and his greedy manager who keeps him constantly on tour and in a booze-addled state to make money off him, definitely represent the darker side of rock and roll.

comment
The Stoic: Stacee Jaxx. Unusally for a rock star, when not performing, Stacee is ice-cold and soft-spoken, rarely showing any emotion. How much is natural and how much is a result of being perpetually drunk is up for debate.

Chekhov's Gun: Sherri's records, which got stolen, all have her name written on them. Drew sees them at the record store and buys them back for her, which convinces her to stay in LA. Arsenal's live album, recorded at The Bourbon Room, is mentioned a few times. The album has a picture of Patricia Whitmore naked and about to screw Stacee Jaxx.

Anachronism Stew
 Rock of Ages / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew : The film is supposed to be set in 1987, although some of the songs ("I Remember You," "More Than Words," etc.) were released later. The hairstyles (due to the lack of perms and layering) appear to be from a little later, and the fashions in the strip club date earlier (the Xanadu look from 1982 or so). It's a nostalgia piece about the 80’s.

Mistaken for Cheating: Sherrie bumps into Stacee Jaxx, causing Drew to think that she had sex with him. Predictably, this is not cleared up immediately and they hate each other, driving the story forward.

The Cover Changes the Meaning
 Rock of Ages / int_3f1f6c04
comment
The Cover Changes the Meaning: The most notable being the song "Any Way You Want It," which is about strippers doing anything the client wants. Also, several songs are used differently and/or at different times in the movie than they were in the musical ("We Built This City" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" are at almost totally opposite ends of their positions in the musical), leading to some fun surprises for people who thought they knew what to expect or when to expect it.

 Rock of Ages / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Stacee Jaxx is made into a much more sympathetic character, who doesn't engage in the constant sexual harassment of Sherrie that he does in the stage show. While the play ends with him fleeing to Uruguay to avoid a statutory rape charge, the film ends with a redemption arc that allows him to rejoin his band.

Hollywood California: The movie is mostly restricted to two greater locations, namely Sunset Boulevard and the Hollywood sign. Not that it was actually made there (see California Doubling), and not that the Hollywood sign and its immediate surroundings look anything like the real deal. It's kind of Hollywood Hollywood because Hollywood fails at portraying itself realistically.

The Alcoholic: Stacee Jaxx spends most of his scenes staggering about in a drunken stupor with a bottle of scotch in his hand. Implied to be a case of drowning his sorrows. Constance calls him on his behavior during her interview.

Lonely at the Top: Implied to be a key force behind Stacee's drinking, as the only people around him are groupies, his manager who's cheating him, and his best friend Hey Man, who is an ape.

Large Ham: Patricia Whitmore and Stacee Jaxx. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tom Cruise definitely had a blast playing their respective characters. Paul Giamatti, Alec Baldwin, and Russell Brand are all pretty over the top, making this film a World of Ham.

Villainy-Free Villain: The mayor and his wife never actually do anything illegal or underhanded in their crusade against rock music and their goal is not that unreasonable (they want to shut down a badly-run nightclub in order to clean up a sleazy neighborhood and let a financial backer take it over) but they're both such blatant hypocrites that it's very hard to sympathize with them. Averted with Paul, Stacee's manager, when we find out Stacee really was doing the Bourbon Room gig pro bono and Paul took their money anyway.

Ethical Slut: More like Ethical Strip Club Owner—Justice lets Sherrie just be a waitress and only nudges her into being a dancer by pointing out that it's the higher-ranked job in the club. Sherrie makes the decision herself because the strippers/dancers make a lot more money than her. Justice even tries to talk Sherrie out of working at her club at first. She knows it's not exactly a good job.

Karma Houdini: Mayor Whitmore carries on an extramarital affair (at one point in a church!) and never gets caught, much less punished. On the other hand, he was very noticeably distraught when it is revealed on live television that his wife had formerly made out with Stacee Jaxx at a concert, so if anything, they're even in that regard, but it still doesn't change the fact that he's a major hypocrite who is never exposed for it, unlike Patricia. Very much not Paul. Formerly high rock stars give fun revenge.

Cloudcuckoolander: Stacee Jaxx acts this way. His best friend is a monkey and when he first arrives at the Bourbon Room both Dennis and the audience are left unsure whether he intends to burn the place to the ground metaphorically with his music or literally burn it to the ground in order to release some mythical fire phoenix. Could also count as Truth in Television, as wealthy, famous, booze addled rock stars often tend to lose touch with reality. Constance even points this out to Stacee, accusing his manager of giving him girls and drugs to keep him controllable. She also blames the drugs on why his career's gone stale. Considering that the manager can barely control him, this plan doesn't seem to be working out.

I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Stacee Jaxx towards Constance, Stacee Jaxx towards Constance, holy shit, Stacee Jaxx towards Constance. When they first meet, he has little interest in her . . . until she rips him a new one about his contentment to coast on his past hits and failures to produce any new music in two years. At that point, he literally won't look anywhere but at her and tosses out his entourage to seduce her. When she runs after their hook-up, Stacee tries to follow her, only stopped when he crashes into Sherri and glass breaks everywhere. When he calls Rolling Stone to track her down, Stacee explicitly describes her as "This goddess held up a mirror to Stacee Jaxx". Even the background music supports this, with their reunion soundtracked by Music/Scorpions "No One Like You".

Fully-Clothed Nudity: Constance leaving The Bourbon Room's dressing room in nothing but her bra, panties, and boots is played as this. This is justified as a) she's walking into a very public place (the main area of the club) and b) she's walking past a group of people who just heard her have sex with her interview subject, thus torching her professional reputation.
