An antagonistically tedious and lazy movie

Rating: 1/10 (9 March 2019)

I hate this movie. It gives no impression any effort went into any of it.
It feels made up on the spot because it is; they decided on scenarios and improvized. Not in the cool spontaneous way like in Creep 2, but in a cheap "let's just half-ass this movie" type of way. It's very insulting.
Some of the jokes have potential. But they all miscarry because there obviously isn't the comic timing to pull them off. A lot of the jokes don't even make sense. Why shouldn't they put an 11 on the scale? Either stress that they know that it doesn't increase the maximum volume or respect that more intermediate settings is useful to them as musicians. The scenes, dialogue and jokes show no imagination. They seem to have been going for a hoax movie. But what's the point of that? Just watch a real rockumentary.
It does not parody or satire. It just checks a list of things rockstars have done and does them. It just rips off reality. It really expects you to laugh at them ripping up small bread. I think it's meant to be a point about how rockstars can be divas but please try and be more creative. Asking to have all the green gummy bears removed: now that's what I'm talking about.
And those drawling, ugly British voices... I'm British myself and I hate it.
In terms of how it all adds up scene for scene I'm tempted to say there is no movie I hate more than this. At least "in Search of the Titanic" is so bad its good and was ballsy enough to be far out with a lot of weird scenes. This movie gives me nothing but a couple of good songs, hence why I gave it a 1 instead of a zero.
Apparently its very on the money if you know rock history. But so what? Even if this movie is esoteric, Robot Chicken does a great job of making the joke clear even if you haven't seen the show they're parodying.
I don't mind people liking stupid movies but telling me that this has anything smart about it just annoys me. I struggle to see how anyone can like this. This makes Judd Apatow look like Seth Macfarlane. It's not clever. It's not well observed. It's an artistically incompetent exercise in self-indulgence for the easily pleased rockthusiast.
Gruellingly tedious to sit through.
