Stadium Anthems

The first thing coming to mind, already when watching the trailer, was "This is Spinal Tap", one of my absolut favourites. This, combined with a female lead is therefore everything I could be hoping for :)

I think the witty characters are portrayed really well, kudos to the actors! The film is funny and thanks to the awesome soundtrack becomes memorable entertainment. Good directing - a gem of indie filmmaking. Worth watching.

This is a fun, funny and highly entertaining exploration of the music industry! The female leads were terrific and even though it's a mockumentary/satire, the performances, production values, and music are first rate. Now I wish there was a soundtrack to buy! Definitely recommended!

I honestly wasn't expecting this film to be as funny as it is! Usually, mockumentaries fall flat for me but this film had me cracking up. It's raunchy, offensive, and over the top. AND I'M ALL FOR IT. Not to mention Star Wars references abound. (Boba Fetish anyone?)

Living in LA, I witness firsthand how crazy and weird the music industry can be and this film capitalizes on that.

The acting is great and the writing is so tight. The pacing is whiplike and the running time flies by so quick.

I am looking forward to more of Writer/Director Scott Douglas Brown brings to the fray. Definitely check this out.

Nevermind that it's funny -- this movie's visuals are amazing! Very adept filmmaking and fine performances all around. Director Scott Brown packs a punch as he satirizes the music industry. And it reminds me of some of the characters I met in eighties hollywood when hair bands reigned supreme. It's as though the subjects of "Behind The Music" came back to life (or relevance) and got what they deserved.

The music is really good in this movie (even though it's comedy) and I love director's choices in costumes and set design. Good quality stuff and a great depiction of a time in history of the music industry that may never happen again at quite that over the top level of fame and fortune.

This is a truly unique film, hard to pin down and very timely for the MeToo era. What sucked me was the witty dialogue throughout the film skewering the music industry lead by self obsessed men who are more id driven beasts than nuanced characters. This is compelling satire that seems so over the top until one considers the recent scandals of Harvey Weinstein et al. making it that much more thoughtful as the audience is left to ponder maybe this isn't so satirical after all. The film is grounded by quotes from famous musicians venting their frustrations with the industry that both exploits and launches their careers.

A bold, unique, raunchy comedy that lays bear our compulsions while at the same time providing wonderful food for thought about the power of music and the industry which props it up, threatens to destroy and slowly adapts to the ever changing marketplace.

This is a film unlike any other i've seen, which is a good thing.
