Too many to choose just one

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2008)

Saw this last night on DVD for the first time, and I was in stitches. Maybe because I work in the music business some of the really "in" stuff hit home. Here are the parts I liked best;
1. The Blues scene, where Dewey busts off an authentic blues riff first time out on cutting his brother in half.
2. The way Dewey talks to rock stars, always being sure to use their full names and titles, as if he's helping out the audience. Jack Black as McCartney is classic.
3. When we are introduced to a "fourteen year old" Dewey, who looks an awful to like a 50 year old Dewey, although his band mates are teens. It's another example, like the cars in the Midget scene, where there is no attempt made to make flashbacks authentic.
4. The Brian Wilson "goat session". He had the Wilson beard, man-dress and the over-the-top production of the "Pet Sounds" and "Smile" sessions.
Many more, but in short, this is stands beside "Spinal Tap" as a scathing and hysterical look at the world of rock and roll.
