Weak as hell


This is NOT a film about The Replacements. Its predominantly a bunch of dull interviews with people who (claim to) like the band. Problem is these interviews add absolutely nothing if you have actually been a fan of The Replacements. It cracks me up how anyone could say this doc is better because (1) there's no 'Mats music in it and (2) there are no interviews or soundbites with the band. No it isn't. It's no surprise that Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson wanted nothing to do with this thing.

Amateur hour.

P.S. If you want to see a quality documentary on Westerberg check out Come Feel Me Tremble (2003). THAT's how you do it.
