    Hilarious film from beginning to end. Will make a true fan out of any rock n' roll lover.

    It's like how much more awesome can this movie be? And, the answer is none... none more awesome.

    This is one of those films that must be seen to be believed. It's so ridiculous and so outrageous and off the wall that I dare anyone to not die laughing if only at the absurdity of it.
