A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This "rockumentary" follows Florida band Against Me! when they set upon a tour of the U.S.A. It's actually not a documentary but more of a video tour diary. We get to see Against Me! perform a few songs live, which is nice and all, but the best part of this movie are the interviews in between the live performances where we get to see various people (lovers and haters of Against Me! included) vent their opinions. It's also quite amusing to see how the major labels try to get Against Me! to sign up with them. There's also a pretty fun episode where the singer from Against Me! gatecrashes another band's tour bus and "steals" some ice, only to be thrown out by the guy whose tour bus it is, then it all takes a different turn, but I can't say what since that would spoil it all. Overall, this film is pretty disappointing, for some reason (after reading reviews in magazines I guess) I thought this would be more than a peek into Against Me!'s live show, crazy interviews and some "crazy" tour episodes, but if you're really into Against Me! I think you should check this out, if you don't have to pay too much for it.
