With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who love a true story told well and music lovers. You'll come away knowing something you didn't. Fans of Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me or Stop Making Sense should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
The five piece rock band The Upper Crust dress like 18th century European noblemen and sing about being fabulously rich. They start out playing the dingiest of dive-bars. One of them will end up as a confidant to the President. Shot over five years, the film chronicles friendship, betrayal, guns, lipstick, a shot on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," an FBI investigation, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and the wild ride of a wild rock band.
