A gift for those already in the fold, for those who get the joke and just want to savor it with other like-minded fans.
An absorbing and inspiring portrait of two musicians whose unerring sense of what's right -- both artistically and ethically -- has not just held them in good stead but driven their particular brand of success.
Adoring, appropriately offbeat documentary.
It's shiny, amusing, incessantly clever, but sometimes a tad too snarky for its own good.
Forget "The Revenge of the Nerds." This is the real thing.
Despite Schnack's half-hearted attempt to divide the film into chapters, his film is too unstructured to hold the interest of non-fans who might have appreciated a somewhat less hagiographic approach.
Will likely test the patience of all but the most devoted fans.
