This is easily all around one of the best Canadian films ever
made. Yes it is a mockumentary, yes it is follows around a rock band
(rockumentary) but for every other reason this really should not be
compared to Spinal Tap. It really isn't a comedy, although it has some great moments in it.
It's also not about a band "struggling with fame" which is what
EVERY OTHER rock movie is about (Almost Famous, That Thing
You Do, Spinal Tap, The Doors, you name it). Just four guys
holding on to a dream that should have faded years ago, all the
while trying not to kill each other. I always knew Hugh Dillon was really the lead singer for the
Headstones, so I realized it wasn't really a documentary but
thought Hard Core Logo the band might still have existed and this
was a tribute. Not the case, but that takes nothing away from the
movie. They say not to watch this movie if you're in a band because it'll
make you never want to play. At the same time, I think anyone who
has been in a band will appreciate it that much more picturing how
their little arguments would be amplified to 10 years later. It's an
overall great gut check to picture just ow much you love playing
music, especially if noone wants to listen.
