Keyed to a particular audience

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 1999)

This movie is hilarious. (It definitely goes to 11.) However, having observed a number of people being forced by their friends (such as myself) to watch this movie, I have learned that it's mostly hilarious for anyone who's ever been involved in any aspect of the music industry or any other performance-related show business, and that it's especially hilarious for these people when they've also grown out of a nigh-religious following of head-banging rock 'n' roll. If you've never participated in any way in a band tour (and I mean any band of any kind; they really are all the same in ways that matter), you won't get a third of it. If you still love heavy metal and the whole pseudo-goth culture that attends it, you might not get this movie at all, or this movie might spoil that for you forever.
