Wax and his friends are the happiest kids in the city of Galilee. Living on the rooftops of this bustling metropolis, sometimes life can be tough, but they still churn out songs all day, and dance under the stars at night. But when Wax meets his dream girl, a billboard beauty named Starling, fate takes him on a wild ride through the high and low parts of the town he loves.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
"The Rooftop" is a restless boy-fights-for-girl fantasia, too stylistically bulbous a misfire to allow for easy enjoyment as either a demented throwback or a genre hybrid.

fresh:
"The Rooftop" is frenzied, funny and knowing, drenched in lavish, often surreal, imagery.

fresh:
The candy-colored musical from Taiwanese heartthrob Jay Chou is two-thirds delightful.
