This could just as well go in the Vespers thread...but -
This movie (documentary, actually) was fantastic. My wife had never been much of an Anvil fan, but she went as far to say that she actually really enjoyed this film. She loves reality type shows, and this was about as real as it gets.
It really put a lot of perspective into what these guys have been through, and what they are still going through. It had a lot of Spinal Tap like moments, which were even funnier cuz this stuff was actually happening to these guys.
I have their first 4 albums and then they kind of dropped off of the chart for me. I knew that they were still around, but I kind of lost interest in them. I absolutely loved them in the 80's.
I was so glad to see them in this film and hope that they may finally start getting some of their due as the result of this documentary.
Even if you are not a metal fan, this is pretty much a must see if you have any interest in the music business, or any interest in real life actually.
Anyway, that's my review...I hope that some of you get a chance to see this and I would love to hear some comments back when you do.

It's on my must-see list. I vaguely recall the first Anvil album, but they dropped off my radar relatively quickly.
