Summary: Definitely worth a look
Review: Although not many people have seen this it's definitely worth a look. Renee Zellweger is very convincing as a piano playin rocker n the music is great, featuring stuff from Little Richard and Eddie Cochran. The next time you pass Blockbusters it's worth going in and lookin for this, you wont be disappointed.

Summary: Enjoyable if you liked Rock 'n Roll High School...
Review: Endearingly silly movie that continues the theme and fantasies of Rock 'n Roll High School (same director), with some great tunes. Subplot of a group of black singers gives the movie most of its heart, though the turn at the end is joltingly serious and out of tune with the rest of the movie. Great to see the stars of Rock 'n Roll High School who played the rebelling, rocking teenagers in that movie (PJ Soles, Dey Young) joining Mary Woronov in this one in her on-screen movie objective of shutting down big, bad Rock & Roll.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Renee Zellwegger probably wants to forget this...
Review: From Renee Zellwegger's God-awful dubbing to the acting by the rest of the cast to the fact they put her teenage character up against some old ugly guy...you will hate this movie each second you co-exist with it.

I remember I saw this before I watched "A Knight's Tale" some years ago. My dad and younger sister still joke to this day about how ironic that a movie set in the Middle Ages had a better rock soundtrack than a movie actually about rock.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Renee Zellwegger Is Awesome
Review: I came across this little movie, and I'm glad I did. Shake, Rattle and Rock! reminds me of a toned-down Grease with it's doo-wop songs and group of characters. A small town is taken back by rock-n-roll music. The teens love it, along with a radio tv show host (Howie Mandell), but the parents despise it. Especially Susan Doyle's (Renee) mother and her group of friends.

The characters in this movie are great and ultimately fit into the time era. There's your group of kids who have a band (Renee Zellwegger, Patricia Childress, and Max Perlich), the radio tv host dj (Howie Mandell), the bad boy (John Doe), and a group of young black girls (Latanyia Baldwin, Necia Bray, Josina Elder, & Wendi Williams) trying to make it big in a racial music business. The acting was very good. Especially that given by lead actress Renee Zellwegger. She is so awesome.

Shake, Rattle and Rock! is a great movie, and your 90 minutes will not be wasted.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this movie
Review: I love this movie and I thought it was so cool. This is a must see movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun little movie
Review: Once in a while someone manages to get a handle on the spirit of the early rock 'n' roll movies of the '50s. And, to his credit, director Allan Arkush has done it twice; first with "Rock 'n' Roll High School" - quite probably the greatest rock 'n' roll movie ever made - and again fifteen years later with "Shake, Rattle, and Rock." Is it great art? Naw, but it's fun. Be sure to watch for original "Rock 'n' Roll High School" stars Mary Woronov, P.J. Soles, and Dey Young playing their "RnRHS" characters' mothers.

Summary: Shake baby Shake!
Review: This movie really is good! There should of been a sequal to this. The characters were really good. The story is based sort of off the movies Hairspray and Grease. The rock tv show, the african americans, and the rock n roll are the heart of this movie! Your minutes wont be wasted. Short movie though.
