  Review by Dan Gorman ★★★

  this doc about Doug and the Slugs' biggest strength is the access to all of Doug's old journals and getting that insight into his mind years later by way of those who were around them reading the entries for the first time. not sure where I land about the director constructing the movie around their childhood relationship with Doug's daughter but I'm just happy there's a doc about the band anyway.

  Review by badgalpripri

  I did not like the filmmaker's choice to frame this documentary around the fizzling of her childhood friendship with Doug Bennett's daughter. Especially now, as a adult, grasping that alcoholism and the dissolution of a marriage were at play. So, I dunno - I think I'll hold off from giving this a rating just yet.

  ANYWAY, obviously, I can't hear "Too Bad" and not think of Norm Macdonald. Always puts me in a good mood, so here you go - enjoy!

  Review by lauren :)

  i watched this on a volunteer usher shift. i only knew two doug and the slugs songs (and honestly couldn't have told you for sure that they were doug and the slugs songs had you asked before the movie), so i'm not at all the target audience, but the other people in the theatre were. mostly older vancouverites and obviously fans! they laughed and cried and stayed through the credits and clapped at the end. there's a line about how in many ways, doug wrote the script for the movie, and all that was left to do was put it all together - someone in the audience said, "i agree." they talked about how wonderful it was while they left…
