Director Jason Priestley intercuts engaging concert footage that communicates the band's rapport with its fans with humorous interviews with the fans themselves. BARENAKED IN AMERICA also features interviews with various celebrity acquaintances of Barenaked Ladies, as well as honest and revealing discussions with band members, who talk about life on the road, their families, drinking, eager female fans, and their struggles as a Canadian band trying to break into the American market.

They play the funny songs, but just when things threaten to get too lightweight, singer Steven Page lets loose with a riveting, scorchingly soulful rendition of 'Break Your Heart' to let everyone know they're not just clowning around.

For the discerning rock fan and/or filmgoer, Barenaked in America is about as insightful as an MTV promotional video.
