The Winners will do anything for rock ‘n’ roll immortality. So when vampire Queeny (Dimitri Coats) bites into bassist Jennifer (Jessica Paré) and lead singer Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), the musical wannabes prove that vampires can rock, but stardom too often sucks. Malcolm McDowell stars as a vampire hunter, Henry Rollins as a radio show host, Iggy Pop as a producer, Alice Cooper as an evil bartender and Moby as a rock band's lead singer.

A bit of simple nonsense for a late evening after a demanding workday, assuming that you suffer from acute insomnia. It's not clever, original, or funny, but on the other hand, it's not offensively stupid or tasteless either. One cannot expect cinematic miracles from music comedies of this kind. The presence of famous people from the music world gives this nonsense more weight than it objectively deserves. The music used in the film is not essential, but it is primarily what keeps the film afloat. Many things can be hidden under the broad embrace of rock 'n' roll, and this music fits comfortably into it. Overall impression: 35%.

The Canadian film Suck is not a great comedy for the entire runtime. There are weaker moments, which are connected with the need to repeat certain tired clichés, but also that the humor that the film uses is not always funny. However, as a satire of a rock band that will do almost anything, the film works well. There are also some interesting names in the film: Malcolm McDowell, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper or Moby.
