Trivia:
The title is taken from the Paul Simon song - "Still Crazy After All These Years". more
Goofs:
Factual errors: In one of the last performances, Luke asks Tony what key they're in and Tony shouts "E and B." But the chords actually being played in that part of the song are A and D. Could be another band foul-up, but at this point in the film, things are supposed to be coming together. more
Quotes:
Karen Knowles: Tell me Astrid, how are Kirby, Steele and Oakes?
Astrid Simms: I don't listen to their music.
Karen Knowles: They're your estate agents, the ones trying to offload Wuthering Heights, so don't pretend you don't need this.
Astrid Simms: You are a bloody nosy bitch Karen, and also a slut. I remember Isle of Wight.

A fantastic film., 6 September 2005
10/10
Author: sam-rs6 from United Kingdom

This is perhaps the best rockumentary ever- a British, better This Is Spinal Tap. The characters are believable, the plot is great, and you can genuinely empathise with some of the events- such as Ray's problem with fitting in the band.

The soundtrack is excellent. Real period stuff, even if it is in the same key, you'll be humming some of the songs for days. What I liked was the nearly all-British cast, with some of the favourite household names. Ray's wife is priceless...

The film never drags, it just goes at the right pace, and has some genuinely funny sections in it. A generator of some really good catchphrases!

It's a hidden diamond.
