Anvil! the Story of Anvil (2008) Review
this documentary was billed as the real life Spinal Tap and they were not lying. this documentary is hilarious and also a bit sad at times. the band was thrown in the "where are they now bin?" or the "aren't they dead yet?" bin. the laughs are all over the place and you see something you rarely see in some documentaries, real people being....real. thanks to this movie, Anvil is a household name and getting their 15 minutes of fame extended. they also have a second chance at their dreams, from day jobs to the stage, to a tour of Europe (where the laughs start rolling especially the show where Lips tells Robb that "the place is packed!" only to find 5 people and a guy in the chair there to see them. my ratting for this is 10 anvils out of 10 cause i normally do not like watching documentaries, but this and A Headbanger's Journey are the only documentaries i enjoy, and Anvil! The Story of Anvil, is truly a joy to watch, hands down.
