Watched the movie because I usually love movies with a 70s backdrop. And as a fan of Kiss I wanted to see if it answered to my expectations. It did not. There are things in the movie that never happened, the Kiss make-up is not correct probably due to rights issues and somewhere midway in the movie there is a billboard with Johnny Carson and... January Jones, who wasn't even born in that year the scène is set in.. Paul Stanley, who was in his mid-20's at the time is portrayed by a 50 year old actor who looks nothing like him. Neil never had something to do with the song Beth and so on.
The music are real mediocre cover versions, as the originals were too expensive I assume.
The actors are not bad, but it certainly is no Boogie Nights or Almost Famous, to name a few. It could have been a far better film if it were more accurate, with the original songs and more eye for the right details.
