This is the best rock movie of all time - it is the essence of love for rock.

From the first moment when you heard one of Anvil's songs, it was very clear why they weren't famous

I thought it was a fantastically made film. Entertaining yet it actually tugged at your heart strings in a very genuine and non-too sappy way.

We're still talking about Anvil a month later! It's the best kind of movie - the kind that stays with you. You don't have to be a headbanger to thoroughly enjoy it.

One of the best movies I have ever seen -- documentary, feature, short subject. Funny, sad, poignant, moving, and real. A great achievement.

A true gem of a film. Its really a test of the human spirit, even though these guys had hit rock bottom and there was no rope to climb to get back up, they perused their dreams.

This film showed how much bands have to go through. it alson showed the dark side of the business. not all bands get a fairy tale ending.

Easily one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It's one of those docs where you have trouble believing that the people and events are real.

It is clearly a labor of love for those who made the film, and if you're familiar with the band you'll like it also. But for the average person, it's only marginally interesting. The band certainly has a lot of heart and persistence.

This gets a full 10 points - you can't lose with this film, it will stick with you. And I've got to say the music was pretty damn good too.

Documentary about long forgotten Canadian Rock Monsters Anvil. Took me a while to realise that this is real & not some Spinal Tap rip off & it is done very well. Don't really remember too much about them but lots of good words from Slash,Documentary about long forgotten Canadian Rock Monsters Anvil. Took me a while to realise that this is real & not some Spinal Tap rip off & it is done very well. Don't really remember too much about them but lots of good words from Slash, Lars Ulrich, Scott Ian, etc.
I was sort of split between feeling sorry for them & wanting them to move on with their lives but nevertheless you still do warm to Steve "Lips" Kudrow & Robb Reiner.… Expand

This documentary was truly moving, it gave a perfect example of what bands really go through to "get to the top". You are rooting for them throughout!
