Despite all its angst and bitterness, Prey doesn't convey the pure appreciation of rock 'n' roll that goofy Jack Black embodies in School.

Consensus: Gershon is a fierce rocker, but the plot is a cliche-filled melodrama.

Reviews for Prey for Rock & Roll
...a fairly enjoyable look at the trials and tribulations of an all-girl punk band.
10/28/03
It's a raw and raucous rock story that, for once, gets the big picture and the small details right.
10/23/03
Top CriticAn ingratiatingly scrappy little movie.
10/22/03
Top CriticWhat we want to see is these women onstage, strutting and posturing and kicking out the jams. Instead, we become waylaid in dramatic sidelines that serve little purpose.
10/22/03
There's enough melodrama here to top a movie-of- the-week marathon on Lifetime.
10/22/03
More bad things happen to these four women than one independent film can possibly carry.
10/19/03
More a string of set pieces than a coherent narrative.
10/17/03
Though it becomes almost laughably melodramatic and wields just about every rock-movie cliche in the book, Gershon's latest holds interest, thanks to her fiercely committed and sexy performance.
10/17/03
Top CriticGershon's self-aware shtick is either titillating or irritating, depending on your taste, but the rest of the actors are uniformly excellent.
10/17/03
Ms. Gershon's hot-wired performance infuses Prey for Rock and Roll with a bracing charge of authenticity.
10/16/03
Top CriticPrey swaggers with attitude but can't help slipping on the suds.
10/16/03
Top CriticFearlessly inviting the camera into her deepening wrinkles and hollering corn-nut tunes like an avenging angel, Gershon transcends the script's 'quest for record contract' goofiness.
10/14/03
Gershon rocks the screen
10/11/03
Either very cynical or quite naive, and that title suggests the former.
10/10/03
A satisfying and believable portrait of a rock and roll band's struggles to succeed.
10/10/03
Nothing drives the film, the dialogue is awful, and dramatic tensions are completely missed.
10/03/03
The musical numbers are the only real drag on this otherwise odd and appealing picture.
10/03/03
Top CriticSo far this year we've had the wussiest rock movie ever made, Garage Days, and now Prey for Rock 'n' Roll is the most depressing -- but in a bad way.
10/03/03
Take an amateur playwright with an ax to grind, a novice director without the slightest idea of what he is doing and an actress who confuses sleaze with grittiness, and you have the makings of a first-rate flop.
