    Like many of Claypools bands, Electric Apricot is bound to be a cult hit. I'm just hoping it will have the chance to play before a bigger audience as I feel the film is just plain hilarious and I was extremely impressed at the way Claypool pulled it all together in his first directorial effort.

    Generates enough mild humor to keep the spoof rolling, but lacks the commitment and scope.

    The most appreciative audience for this lame National Lampoon release likely will be guys in tour buses.

    Shot in the same style as "Spinal Tap," Electric Apricot fails to wow in every way possible, but the music disappoints the most.

    This movie was wholesome! Not just for musicians, but for any fan of music, and especially anyone who's ever known a musician personally. Claypool has outdone himself once again! Highly recommended viewing for some good, hearty laughs as they poke fun at probably the most fun thing we can point fun at: the self-important "artiste"!… Full Review »

    Perfect parody about the jam band scene. Smart, funny and genius.
