The day-to-day life of the vacuous rock star isn’t mined here. There are no conversations about cold cuts, amp knobs, or album covers. We know these guys now. This is much more about getting older, mending fences, cheese, and sitting than it is about Heavy Duty rock and roll. The timing could not be better for this release after a summer of public feuds from The Who and the death of Ozzy. That being so, this document arrives a little more grounded in reality. Different from the first, the big surprise here are the cameos from real rockers, especially Paul McCartney who can hold his own with the improv ninjas. Stringently paced by Rob Reiner and Editor
Bob Joyce, one wonders how much silliness ended up on the “cutting room floor” hard drive. There might be ten more movies in there! Such a sweet, funny, nostalgic dessert, and an apolitical tonic for trying times.
