Its a must watch if you are a music lover and read about the old times

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2013)

I have watched this film several times. I even own the extended cut which runs for 2 hours.
The comedy lacks any subtlety. But that is intentional. A musical journey starting from the time of Robert Johnson to Eddie Vedder, despite the spoofs, the film makes an homage to all music genres and all artists who lived their time. The bold 50s, the crazy 60s, the drug riddled 70s, you could call this an American version of This is spinal tap but they are both completely original and different films.
The songs are good, with great lyrics and the final song "A beautiful ride" always manages to bring a lump in my throat.
Of course, this film isn't for everyone. You need to cultured sensibility to make sense of and appreciate the humor.
