This is one of my favourite movies. It is a cult punk rock masterpiece. People compare it to Spinal Tap and I can see why, but I think they are very different movies. Spinal Tap is one of the funniest movies ever made, it is consistently hilarious from start to finish, this movie definitely has some funny moments, but it is a.lot more serious.
Spinal Tap are ridiculous people, that is what makes them great, but this band are actually cool, I wish they were a real band, every character is great and they are very entertaining, the plot is simple but very effective, the characters are so interesting and charismatic that I am happy to just watch them travel around causing mischief. The ending still hits me hard even though I know what is coming.
All of the characters are great but Hugh Dillon as Joe Dick and Callum Keith Rennie as Billy Talent steal the show. Spinal Tap is silly comedy genius, but this film is actually surprisingly deep and philosophical. They just don'y make movies like this anymore.
