Documentary of the band The Replacements
27 March 2011
The Replacements were quite possibly the most destructively creative force in rock music history. Destructive simply because each time they were on the verge of financial success they seemed to purposely sabotage their own careers. Creative because they inspired so many future musicians. You simply can't find a rock band working today who hasn't ripped them off.

This amazing documentary features interviews with friends, colleagues, and a few celebrities (Dave Foley from Kids in The Hall and Tom Arnold plus others) who either knew, worked with the band or were inspired by their music. A fascinating look at the most influential and most under-appreciated band in American rock history.

You don't know who The Replacements are? Shame on you! I saw this at the world premier in Tampa at the Gasparilla Film Festival. Highly recommended!
