Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
A "Wrecking Crew" or "Twenty Feet from Stardom" for the metal generation. Familiar stories and complaints about working "in the shadows," but funnier.

La Movie Boeuf
Scattershot, introducing instrumentalists who've played everything from heavy metal to Disney kid-pop, and rarely doing much to capture its subjects' individual quirks.

Music docu is best for rock, heavy metal fans; cursing.

Like the musician whose technique overshadows their expressiveness, there's simply too much going on, even if a lot of it is good.
