Whether you are a fan of hard rock/heavy metal music, you will love this mockumentary. The humor is so well done. So much to say about this film, but so few characters available for use. Needless to say, it's fantastic and holds up even decades later- a true classic.

I would have been even more thrilled by this movie if I weren't so well sedated.
