Four teens try to get to a KISS concert in Ohio in 1979. Newcomers James DeBello, Sam Huntington and Giusseppe Andrews join teen veterans Edward Furlong and Natasha Lyonne in this surprisingly funny and well-rounded comedy. It hits squarely at its intended audience of 14-year-old rock fans who live in the American suburbs in 1979, but sadly the laws of physics make it impossible for them to see this film. If you used to be one of them, or have one living in your head, check out DRC and find out if you can resurrect the piece of you that owned the Glass Head Bong and wore a black concert T-shirt until it was as ragged as your dreams of rock stardom.
