    This movie is the definition of great independent american cinema. It's insane, fun, and one of the most well-directed music/band-related films. Great, non-simple performances and, generally, a must-see.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The movie has a lot of affection for these scruffy wannabes, and I liked the fact that they were not arrogant, aggressive types, but sort of average, with reasonable values and ambitions. full review

A cheery, cheeky, youthful lark that it trips over its Doc Martens in the first few scenes and never gets up. full review
