Reviews for Barenaked in America
inquisitive and stylish, blending the distinguished personalities of the Barenaked Ladies with zest and humor of the film’s clever interviews.
For the discerning rock fan and/or filmgoer, Barenaked in America is about as insightful as an MTV promotional video.
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.
A funny, spirited film driven by the band's sense of humor and energetic performances.
