The best thing about The Dirt is the performance of Colson Baker AKA Machine Gun Kelly as Tommy Lee. He is trying to put his talents to good use and I hope we'll see more of him on screen.
If you're a fan of Mötley Crüe, The Dirt is exactly what you want to see. But if you're, like myself, untouched by their output, you might as well perceive The Dirt as, to paraphrase a sentence from the beginning of the movie, the adventures of a gang of idiots.
Mind you, they were all musically gifted and were successful in a line of work that is difficult and, more often than not, unrewarding. In fact, I must give the authors the credit for the honesty. Sex, drugs and Rock'n'roll is a hard road to tread. And a fraction of those who choose it end at the same level of success and fame as Mötley Crüe.
