Insanely funny and clever, even better on repeat viewings

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2019)

It might even be better to watch this film with closed captions because the lyrics to the songs are just hilarious and brilliant.
If you've never been in a band you may not get all the nuances. But even if you aren't, it's a very funny parody mock "documentary" of a fictional English classic rock band from the 60s that thinks it can bring the same raw image and message of sexuality to a more 'mature' 80s. And they are, musically and lyrically, passe for the new generation. But these artists, who take themselves very seriously, come apart as time moves on leading to tension between the band members in a tragically funny story line.
What probably made this so terrific is that it was the first, an experiment by which numerous others (including themselves) have tried to reproduce - making a fake documentary about a real subject. And with some topics, especially artists and even moreso hard rock musicians, it's primed for satire. Remarkably, the actors are all skilled musicians and the music is fun, more than listenable and the lyrics are brilliant and clever.
If you notice, this is the only movie rated out of 11. And there is a reason for that, ROFLMAO. A great trend setter that I think most can enjoy.
