As promised - no music
7 July 2012
I couldn't drink the kool aid; the gimmick of no music gets old really quick. Without any music or photos of the band, this doc falls flat. As a Mats fan I learned some stuff, and it was great to see faces of so many familiar names. Overall watching this film is kinda like seeing a doc on Van Gogh without any of his paintings - only friends of Theo saying what an awesome/screwed up dude Vince was. Too much screen time given to a fan from Nebraska who got turned on to Tim as a 14 year old. His interviews kept going on and on - obviously a love fest for this guy. He sounded like a boring academic. Never thought someone could make the Replacements seem boring or academic, but he did both.
