Why so much hype?
It is a performances centric movie
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
In the style of "This Is Spinal Tap," a pseudo-documentary film burlesque and improbable. Completely out of touch in the wonder-world of Hollywood California's artists, the band, victim of the industrial musical system, go on record for a so called tour in the countryside of the United States. No one really understands what happens once they turn up, they got lost in the maze of the high ! The scenario is just hilarious and Claypool, the extraterrestrial Bass-player of the legendary band "PRIMUS", gives us here a production from his planet ! An excellent unknown footage. Recommended for fans, freaks, curious of nonsense among others !
This movie is amazing. Simply put it is the greatest thing I've watched in last 21 years. Given, I am only 21 years old. That's just how amazing it is. I find it hard to believe that wasn't released in theaters. I'd imagine it would have made so much money. Everything about the film is fantastic. The only thing I could think of that would have made it better would have been more cameos by musicians/interviews with scene kids outside the Warfield, etc. This is really a great thing Les has done here. I pray he continues his efforts. He's a really, really funny guy.I find it sad that you're reading this instead of watching the movie.It's F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.
I saw Les Claypool last night at the House Of Blues in Dallas, and I bought this for THIRTY smackeroos! But it's alright because it's a "limited collector's item" AND because it was absolutely glorious! The comedy is sharp and with the signature cleverness that inhabits all of the Colonel's writing. The culture of the modern jam band world is explored with a mighty thoroughness. A lot of inside jokes for Lesheads. Flouncin Fred, Gabby La La, and Gordo and Aiwass played by Mr. Kehoe Nation and Bob C. Cock respectively. I give it 10 out of 10 and can say I was wholly satisfied as a big Les Claypool fan and as an admirer of good flicks."Bound to be a cult hit!"
All the characters in this movie are hilarious! If you ever get a chance to see this movie I highly recommend it. National Lampoon has taken a giant leap in the right direction. Les Claypool is the comedic God of this generation.Les takes you on a journey through the jam band underground. You get to know and love all the characters, as if they were your best friends. The Electric Apricot grows from playing coffee shops to playing Festeroo! You get to watch them as they record their first record, argue, fight, and get therapy. From tree houses to yoga, this movie entertains you in ways you never thought possible.
