If these guys wanted to be commercially successful, they should have changed or evolved their music to be more in line w/ what sells. Instead, they seem to just churn out album after album in a niche that the masses don't appreciate. It only took me the length of this film to figure that out, yet these guys haven't learned that in the over 40 years that they've been in a band together.

It would make my top 10 of the year easily, but probably not decade. I remember while I was watching this wondering to myself if it was real or a mockumentary. I hope this comes out on Blu up here (don't see it anywhere yet). Excellent film. It would make my top 10 of the year easily, but probably not decade.

Even tough it is a bunch of whiny rich boys it gets more in-depth than Anvil. And maybe that is why Anvil didn't make it as a band is the lack of depth in their music. I probably just stated the obvious! Maybe that is why Metallica: Some Kind of Monster is a better rock doc. from the decade.

I don't see myself ever watching it again. I would have liked it a lot more if the documentary crew asked more in-depth questions of those guys. they want to be BIG but we never get what "being big" means to them or why that is the goal. they just seem to be some old dogs chasing their own tails. it was good buuuuut, I don’t know.
