Along with their instruments and several gallons of booze, Kut U Up packed a few cameras in their new van which resulted in: RIDING IN VANS WITH BOYS: THE DOCUMENTARY. RIDING IN VANS WITH BOYS is unfettered, s*#$-faced, start-to-finish hilarity mixed with real-life drama.

The best rock movie ever

I seen this I believe on MTV about a few years ago and I thought it was good so in the summer of 2004 I purchased this in the summer. Then I watched it and I was amazed how good it was. The movie is about a small band with the name of kut u up touring with Blink 182, Green day and Jimmy eat world. Just to let you know Kut u up is a small band used to playing in small dance clubs and stuff. So the band goes on tour and the movie just gets funny and funny. If you like to laugh I recommend this. Also If you like any of those bands than this is your movie. Its worth it and everything. This movie is filled with humorous things and has awesome performances from all the bands I mentioned. So go see this if you like to laugh or play a instrument or dreamed of rocking out.
