Sadly Over-hyped

Crappy film

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Nothing beats authentic raw primal Jane's Addiction and I think Flea was a perfect fit and or replacement for Eric even though Eric is the original punker in my opinion. I highly recommend this film as well as The Gift a film by Perry Farrell chronicling his life in the early days a bit more scriptfully and with a splash of Perry's off the wall eccentricity and humor. Jane's at their weirdest and craziest is by far my favorite band of all time, I don't think anybody laid it all out on the line like they did and still do when they reunite with the right element. Perry is brilliant, I don't need to elaborate on that, Dave is the greatest Rock guitarist of all time, Stephen is a tiny beast on the kit, Flea is a flea on steroids and LSD, is a sweetheart, and I love the guy.

I suppose proof how how effective this movie chronicling the reunion tour of Jane's Addiction is, is that I'm not a die hard fan of the band, but still had a great time. The film pulls no punches in terms of showing the life of a touring rock band, warts and all.
