This one goes to eleven.

Pros: Hilarious, Classic, Complex Comedy

Cons: Dated, Slow at times

This is a classic of comedy, a "documentart" following England's Loudest Band as they tour the states. Luckily, they're a bunch of dimwitted buffoons, with greater opinions of themselves than those of their fans. Watch as they promo...te their new albulm "Smell the Glove", meeting hilarious mishaps, inconveniences, and annoyances. Also, there's a monument in danger of being trampled by a dwarf. The "Directors Commentary" is hilarious in it's own right, as the members of the band are back in the present day to comment on the documentary. Watch this and understand why it is such a cult classic. Read more Less

This is hysterical

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 27, 2006

Pros: A funny mockumentary of the rock'n'roll lifestyle

Cons: I wish they would do a sequel

This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The characters that Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest portray are some of the funniest they have ever created. The best part is...they wrote, performed and recorded all of their s...ongs themselves. The bonus for this DVD is the commentary done by McKean, Shearer, and Guest as their characters commenting on the movie. Absolutely hysterical. \m/ \m/ Read more Less

Pros: Classic movie, great DVD

Cons: None!

If you're reading this, you already know this is one of the most hilarious movies ever made. So here's why you should buy the DVD. The commentary track is the most original I've ever heard - it's the three main actors doing it in ch...aracter, looking back on the movie now that they're older and "wiser." In addition, the deleted scenes when watched straight through on their own, run almost as long as the actual movie! It's practically a second movie that you could say runs concurrently to the original. Tonight I'm gonna rock you tonight! Read more Less

when you consider that much, if not all, of the dialogue was improvised, in addition to the general absence of a "script", the sheer brilliance of this movie is obvious. absolutely hilarious...

Hear The Sustain

This one is at the top of the heap. Shhh... Listen, you hear the sustain?I don't hear anything......Well... you would... if it was in your video player.I love this movie!!!!! It is the best comedy ever, and the basses that "Derek Smalls" uses are pr...etty cool too! The songs are hilarious, but I think it'd sound better in dubly. Read more Less

Good but dated

I never saw this movie until recently (and that with my heavy metal past...) but it wasn't as funny as I'd hoped.But I think it's the little things.. and that means I need to watch it a few more times... the little things that only true heavy metal ...fans would know... Read more Less
