Movie Info
With help from a former Beatle, Ringo Starr, and a member of the Who, Keith Moon, Frank Zappa and his band draw on their own experiences in this mockumentary about the lives of peripatetic rock stars. Director Zappa takes his cameras backstage, offering a glimpse of what it's like to be out on tour. In contrast to the popular perception, life on the road isn't very glamorous, unless you're into bad drugs, awful sex and the endless pursuit of applause and a little spending money.

Oct 02, 2011Ringo Starr IS Larry the Dwarf AS Frank Zappa in this druggy pastiche of skits, solarized footage, crude animations, and an operetta about a penis. Most people will wonder what they were smoking when they came up with this; Zappa fans will wonder where they can get some.Greg S Super Reviewer

Aug 02, 2009Five stars for effort. A colorful and flamboyant look at The Mothers of Invention. Funny, but disjointed and unfocused. More sensationalism and absurdity than plot, but entertaining for any Zappa fan. Captures the spirit of the psychedelic era.
