No matter the out-of-this-world nature of their adventure, they remain an amusing and endearingly down-to-Earth doofus duo.

4/5

Because the movie’s on-the-fly style is as scruffy as its protagonists, it’s easy to underestimate the intelligence and artistry it takes to make something so silly.

This overly meta farce beats its mildly silly jokes so steadily into the ground that it’s not so much a case of diminishing returns as humor abuse.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is clearly not for everyone (the audience I saw it with was clearly befuddled, judging by their demeanor once the lights went up afterwards) but to these eyes, it is one of the funnier films to come around in a while.

7/10

Matt Johnson’s goofy mockumentary is so laden with tricks, gags, and irony that it somehow registers as sincere.

[T]he result is a comedy of so many intricate components and details that it's a bit of a miracle it is hilariously funny, too.

If you haven't seen the show....well, watch it. But if you happen to not have time before seeing this movie, you will still have the time of your life. Was in an Unseen Screening with people of all ages and races, EVEYRONE was losing their minds. Just know most of this is filmed out in the open with real people and STILL connects this good from a plot and character point of view
