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

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Back in the early 80s, there was a short time when Quiet Riot was one of the biggest bands in the world--thanks in part to a lot of airplay by MTV and a very catchy son, "Cum Feel the Noise". However, the band soon disappeared from the top and much of it was due to the arrogant off-stage antics of the lead singer, Kevin DuBrow. It got so bad that the band even eventually fired this lead singer...the very guy who started the band! Then, after a few years, the band reunited...along with DuBrow. In 2007, however, DuBrow died of an overdose. This history of the band makes up the first 40% or so of the film and I was stunned...wasn't the film all about HIM?!What follows is the eventual decision to recreate the band...and this makes up the bulk of the film. So, with DuBrow's mother's blessing the band recruits a new lead singer and the process is NOT a smooth one. So is it worth seeing? Sure...especially if you like the band. I love their music and liked hearing about their history. It also had a lot of material that I thought was oddly funny--such as seeing a couple of these middle-aged hair band rockers with tiny dogs (one with a Chihuahua wearing clothes and another with a Yorkie and in the final scene what looks like a cockapoo--You'd THINK they'd all have Dobermans or wolves!), eating gluten-free and acting so darn normal! Plus, the MANY lineup changes also becomes very comical.Well worth seeing....at least for the person who LIKES hair band music!

This movie left me with interesting feelings;I think Frankie is a great drummer, and QR had a few good tunes (mostly cover tunes).After watching the movie I wanted Frankie to give up on the QR theme and join another classic rock band. He's a great drummer.I was in Grade 9 when QR hit it big. It was pretty amazing that a metal band hit it big in 1983, but QR didn't have the songwriting to back it up at all.This movie is pretty much a rip-off of the Anvil movie. They spent way too much time showing the awful singers replacing Dubrow.

What immediately struck me about this documentary is the brilliant manner in which filmmaker Regina Russell so accurately captured the true essence and spirit of the band before and after they achieved fame. I was lucky enough to know them before they reached super-stardom. There was nothing far fetched or embellished about this story. This is exactly how they were - the good, the bad, the excesses and the talent. It's all there and transparent as can be. I never thought it will be possible to have more respect for Frankie and his band mates, than I already did. But seeing the "behind the scene" ups and downs that recount the tragedy and triumph before, during and after the death of Kevin DuBrow was really mind-blowing. The friendship and camaraderie is deeper than any of us could have imagined. Through it all is a motivating and uplifting lesson that we can all apply to our own lives. Friendship is forever - life is short - music heals our souls - and the human spirit is capable of some amazing things especially when faced with insurmountable odds. This documentary is brilliant and authentic from start to finish! Once you see it, there's no way to forget it!

It all started in the late 70's. Quiet Riot started their rise to fame and made glam metal popular. They peaked in 1983 with the release of Metal Health, the first heavy metal album that topped the billboard charts. The album spawned two metal anthems in Cum On Feel The Noise and Bang Your Head. From there it was a long and winding road filled with ups and downs and lots of line up changes.Quiet Riot: Well Now Your Here, There's No Way Back is the story of The rise, fall and the rebirth of Quiet Riot. In 2007 their lead singer Kevin DuBrow passed away ending the career of the metal band that started the hair band movement of the eighties. In 2010, at a cross roads in his life, Quiet Riot's drummer Frankie Banali restarted the band. This documentary chronicles Frankie Banali's efforts to go forward with his career and life.I'm a huge fan of hard rock and heavy metal from the seventies and eighties but I was never a big fan of Quiet Riot. I love documentaries though and I decided to give this one a shot. Well Now Your Here, There's No Way Back is one of the best music documentaries that I've seen. While watching this movie I found myself wanting to laugh, cry and cheer.I laughed when I saw the band members try to remember all the people who have been in the band over the years and their efforts to find a new singer. I felt like crying when I heard the story of Kevin's death and seeing Frankie deal with it along with the death of his mother and wife. I also wanted to cheer when I saw Quiet Riot putting together a great show in front of a big crowd after all the problems they had. This movie will give you a new appreciation for Quiet Riot and show you how hard a rock band works to stay alive when it seems like the world is against them.Even if I wasn't a fan of 80's music, I would have loved this documentary. The director Regina Russell did an excellent job of showing Frankie Banali's efforts to keep his dreams alive and how hard it can be. You see his ups and downs and by the end of the movie you feel like you know him. This is a movie that you don't want to miss and I hope it has some great extras when it comes out on DVD.
