This is a bittersweet movie of an attempt to comeback by the Canadian band Anvil in 2006. Comments have been made that it's a documentary version of This is Spinal Tap, and indeed there are references to "11" and the Stonehenge. Also, one of the dude's name is Robb Reiner. However if you expect it to just hilarious or satiric, it isn't -- not unless you are a cruel sense of humor and thinking that lives going nowhere at 50 is funny. This is an enjoyable and heartfelt doc on the band's latest less-than-successful European tour and its attempt to release the 13th album that culminated in a Tokyo concert. We also get to see the lives of and relationships between the two life-long friends/members Reiner and Steve "Lips" Kudlow, but this is a simple doc that doesn't try to dig into any sordid topic and stick to telling a good story. And that's just fine.
