That was an excellent one.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

First let me get out this out of the way... Unlike most of the people who have previously reviewed this film, I'm not a fan of Les Claypool or Primus. I never really got into their music, although after seeing this film, I definitely have a whole new respect for the guy. Anybody who can do something that completely makes fun of their own art form, deserves a modicum of respect, because they are at ease with themselves and with the world.I checked this film out on a whim. And I was hugely satisfied. This movie isn't laugh-out-loud hilarious, and in fact the jokes will probably only be found funny to mainly musicians or fans of the jam band scene. Myself, being a musician, and a fan of certain groups on that scene, found it to be hilarious.Les Claypool does a great job as Lapdog, their overtly confident and technical freak of a drummer (and who knew Les could play the drums so well? I certainly didn't). The scene where he's discussing drums and drummers with Matt Abst of Gov't Mule is priceless! The other members of the group all have their quirks and ticks. Gordo especially. He has an idolatry of Jerry Garcia that is unmatched, to the point where he has a customized guitar to match Jerry's style (with a dash of Warren Haynes), has a tortilla that supposedly bears Jerry's image (which Bob Weir, in a quick cameo, quickly refutes as possibly just being Jesus, in his many appearances on food), and punches out a bartender who was talking smack about Apricot and Jerry. A little cinematic slap-in-the-face to the neigh-sayers, perhaps...?Most of the cameos are spot-on. Seth Green and Matt Stone as "Tapers" arguing about which kind of microphone is better is absolute genius. Arj Barker as Apricot super-fan "The Cube" was a bit weak. It just seemed to me that he was essentially playing the same character that he plays on "Flight of the Conchords", although he can bring a big tray of "special brownies" to my house any day.Dian Bachar (whom "South Park" fans will know as the voice of Satan's lover "Chris", or as 'Squeak' from "Baseketball") is probably the best cameo in the film. He plays an overeager music school graduate who longs to go on the road as Electric Apricot's roadie, which again for me hits home, since I am also currently in school for music and have done internships at recording studios. Not that I was ever overeager or anything like that, nor have I ever been sacked from a job for being overeager, but I do long to be on the road, but as a musician and not a roadie (although in the Philly indie music scene, we're our own roadies).Overall the film is very well done, although some may be put off by the very specific jokes and references. But I assure you, if you liked Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind, or Bad News, you will love Electric Apricot.

I saw Les Claypool last night at the House Of Blues in Dallas, and I bought this for THIRTY smackeroos! But it's alright because it's a "limited collector's item" AND because it was absolutely glorious! The comedy is sharp and with the signature cleverness that inhabits all of the Colonel's writing. The culture of the modern jam band world is explored with a mighty thoroughness. A lot of inside jokes for Lesheads. Flouncin Fred, Gabby La La, and Gordo and Aiwass played by Mr. Kehoe Nation and Bob C. Cock respectively. I give it 10 out of 10 and can say I was wholly satisfied as a big Les Claypool fan and as an admirer of good flicks."Bound to be a cult hit!"

When I bought my ticket, I wasn't prepared for the laughter I'd soon experience. Musicians are well known for their senses of humor, but Les Claypool really outdid himself. This guy's got it down; to make great music and great movies is a very admirable skill.Even those who are not musically inclined will love this movie. Each character reflects their real-life counterparts, whom we all know and love.If you laughed at Spinal Tap, you'll cackle and howl at Electric Apricot. This is, by far, the best film National Lampoon has had its name on--at least in the last ten years.From an avid musician, this is a no-brainer to recommend all around.

All the characters in this movie are hilarious! If you ever get a chance to see this movie I highly recommend it. National Lampoon has taken a giant leap in the right direction. Les Claypool is the comedic God of this generation.Les takes you on a journey through the jam band underground. You get to know and love all the characters, as if they were your best friends. The Electric Apricot grows from playing coffee shops to playing Festeroo! You get to watch them as they record their first record, argue, fight, and get therapy. From tree houses to yoga, this movie entertains you in ways you never thought possible.
