| A 
                  word to the wise, leave your morality at home. A local production 
                  which premiered at SXSW, "Rock Opera" takes toilet humor to 
                  new levels and provides a rather decent how-to guide for the 
                  beginning substance abuser. Drugs, rock 'n' roll and a brief 
                  nod to sex (toys). Violence, guns, foullanguage and deadbeat 
                  slacking. All take front stage. So it's no real surprise that 
                  this flick is so bloody funny. Maybe it drags a little bit now 
                  and again, literally, but nary a spell goes by when you're not 
                  chuckling, cackling or giggling nervously at the antics of this 
                  motley crew of wacked-out musical maniacs. If 
                  you're not easily offended, this definitely should be somewhere 
                  near the top of your to-view list. |
