Are you ready?

I'm a sucker for rocumentaries and this one takes the cake. No flashy stadiums or tour buses here. These girls rock out across the country van style with Marshalls in tow. All the best road dog pranks and madness you can imagine. This film is both hilarious and heart wrenching at the same...

Rocking Good Movie

Surprisingly heartfelt documentary for a flick about bad ass rocker chicks! Incredible insight into the music industry as well as the hardships of being in a band. Doesn't back off from showing the ugly side of the relationships, addictions, or tragedy. This is a must for anyone who is a music fan.

Nice surprise!

Saw this movie at the Hollywood Forever graveyard of all places. It was during an outdoor tribute screening. I was not aware of the band's music as I never heard their music before I had seen the movie, but a friend brought me and I must say that I was easily hooked. The songs are great and...
