Redeeming social value is overrated

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2006)

This movie is absolutely hilarious for any fan of half-baked comedy, rock and roll, and particularly, the Greatest Fans, but will be lost on most of the populace. Fortunately, those people probably won't be watching it, and so the rest of us debauched fools can enjoy to our hearts' content.
Fans of the D, especially those who watched the original HBO specials will appreciate the parts of the film that are extremely self-referential, including the origin of "Tribute", the obligatory openmic cue cards, and Sasquatch. Meatloaf's performance is brief, but extremely well done and delightfully ironic. As for KG and JB, they are unapologetic about their hedonistic love of the rock, and if nothing else can be taken away from the film, there is the message that pursuit of dreams, however ridiculous they may seem to others, is always worthwhile.
