Ratings and reviews

I can safely say this is one of the best documenteries I've seen. The quality is comparable to, in my opinion, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, or Senna. I will admit, I am a huge fan of this band, but you don't have to like their music to enjoy this show. I work with a guy who hates their music, and thought this was a great show. So give it a try!

The directors took this in a different direction from most band documentaries in that they focused on the fans for a healthy part of the film. Then midway through filming Randy gets arrested on manslaughter charges to add yet another twist. All in all, an excellent film. Definitely worth the watch, regardless of your musical tastes.

These guys are all great to their fans. Mark Morton even responded to tweets I sent him. Great Doc!
