With a mix of fifty DV and Hi-8 cameras distributed to shutter-bug fans and little more instruction than to keep the tapes rolling, director Nathaniel Hornblower and supervising editor Neal Usatin skillfully edit the resulting amateur footage into a kaleidoscopic, rough-edged take on the typically slick, professionally shot concert video. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Beastie Boys relive their former glories in an inspired live performance at Madison Square Garden on October 9, 2004 where 50 members of the sold-out audience use handheld cameras to capture the show.

David Noh, Film Journal International
It's frustrating to see their cavorting so annoyingly chopped up and in such grainy images.

Dan Lybarger, Kansas City Star
The shaky camerawork gets old quickly. So does the fan who filmed himself urinating.
