It isn’t that it has been quoted a billion times, that’s certainly not the case at all.  In my opinion there were not a lot of great lines in the flick.  But the movie is widely known enough to be claim cult pseudo-classic.  I’m not quite sure if it is one or not.  People talk about it existing, I think just for the sake of it being a novel idea.  A documentary (or rocumentary as it calls itself) about a band that actually doesn’t exist?  Brilliant!

I am not convinced that I liked the movie.  I am convinced that I like the idea of the movie.  This movie had the same flaws as Napoleon Dynamite and Borat for me.  That is that everyone talked them up and claimed they were the greatest thing since the invention of cake.

Like any cake loving warm blooded human I rushed out to see this films.  Although after viewing them and hearing any moderately funny jokes repeated trillions of times, the movies didn’t seem to do it.  While there were some jokes in the movie I certainly wasn’t impressed to any significant degree.

The whole ‘existence of the band’ thing is somewhat confusing because apparently they decided after making the movie that they should make the band for real and put on a couple shows.  In it’s time I understand that a lot of people thought of the band as real.  Except for a couple moments in the movie, it does seem like it very well could be a real band.

The annoying thing about the ‘band/movie’ is looking through wikipedia about it.  One of the guys in the band actually does the voice for hard rocking Otto in the Simpsons. (As well as Mr. Burns, Smithers and Flanders to round things out!)

Aside from being a goofy movie, if you haven’t made up your mind on if you should watch it here is one thing to push you off of the fence (although I don’t know which way) :   Fran Drescher is in it.
