    Seriously, see this movie. It's a story of a bunch of Canadian boys that had their 15 minutes of fame but didn't let the end of the lime light bring them down. This is more of a film about the human spirit, of not giving up, no matter what, than anything else. Do check it out.

    This is an AWESOME documentary! I'm not crazy about their music but I admire their passion and resilience. It is a very heartwarming story and I strongly recommend it to everyone here.

    It is a story any fan of music can appreciate! I own the DVD and watch it every so often.
