The funniest movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 1999)

Hillarious movie about an ageing rock band that embarks on a disasterous North American tour. No matter how many times I see this movie, it never fails to make me laugh. So many great gags and classic lines that have been quoted time and time again. The fact that they improvised all the dialogue is expecially impressive. Improvied comedy at its best.

This movie especially hits home if you've had any kind of experience in the music business. You either laugh because you've shared some of the same experiences as this band or you get depressed for exactly the same reasons. The stupidity of the band members is also worth a lot of laughs. You can't help but laugh at a band who descibes their music in deep, philosophical terms while writing songs like "Big Bottom" and "Sex Farm." It's amazing how many real-life bands in the 80's seemed to share the same mentality as these guys.
Unfortunately, this also happens to be one of the most difficult to find movies around, as it's been out of print on video for years. It got released on DVD lat year but it's now out of print on that format as well for some reason. Hopefully, someone will wake up and reissue this classic film again.
