Great! 2 thumbs up! One of the best rock documentaries Ive seen. Bonus beat was that Anvil played in the theater right after the movie...bands sound good in a movie theater, should happen more often...go check it out...

Seen it twice now - it has everything you could want from a rockumentary, and it provides heartbreak and spinal tap moments in equal measure.
METAL ON METAL!
yeah, I think..I didnt know who was behind it, but it was probably them...it was poorly promoted though...I didnt even know it was showing, I just happened to be on the movie theater website because I got some movie passes at work and I was seeing what was showing so I could use my passes. There was a small banner ad for it. I wasnt even counting on the movie showing here.

Thank you sir!
Anyone who has ever been in ANY band will find a lot of truth and entertainment from this doc. And anyone who has been in a band and moved on will see people in the movie they recognize who love it too much to let it go.
It's more like a metal version of 'the Wrestler' than 'Spinal Tap', just not as tragic.
Just saw the Wrestler this past weekend. Great movie but a serious downer...
b/w
Nice to see all the NJ locations
