He can slither, he can seduce, and he can sing! (He's almost too good, actually. Cruise, no surprise, commits entirely to the enterprise. As Stacee Jaxx, a mysterious, nebulous rock star oozing with sex appeal who's lost in the bounty of fame (but may want more), he's seriously appealing. So before you know it, you're (sort of) won over. And most of the performances are winning. But the music ("Pour Some Sugar on Me," "I Can't Fight This Feeling") is eminently sing-able. To start, it's campy, and the translation from Broadway to the screen can be awkward. It's all about managing expectations: Don't enter the theater expecting a profoundly moving experience, a la Billy Elliot. You'll initially wonder whether you're in for a hokey cheese-fest that will have you feeling sorry for all of the big names who've signed up for this endeavor (that opening scene on the bus incites giggles, and not in a good way).
