In 1978 Kiss is playing in Detroit and four teenage airheads are desperate to see their favourite band's gig. If only they didn't face so many obstacles. This inane and utterly laughless comedy plays out like a teenage boy's wet dream; all four guys score with a hot chick while trying to secure a ticket to the concert. The soundtrack has a number of classic rock tunes, unfortunately most of them play only for about 5 seconds.
