Movie Haiku:Like MAMA MIA!, silly plot connects popular rock songs, but here most cast members are supposed to be successful performers. So why adapt a stage musical with two leads who can barely sing? Big name stars cavort, so give them points for trying (especially Cruise), but actually watching this mess was excruciating. Not yet seen by Rich & likely never to be seen by Rich.
