Amy Nicholson MTV It's So Easy plays like a public Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with McKagan at the mic apologizing for his misdeeds. Rated: C Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Duff McKagan is talented, smart and nice. ... His story deserves a better movie. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 3, 2016 Full Review Alex McLevy AV Club The entire thing is basically an hour and a half advertisement for the written version, done as a sort of live audiobook of excerpts from his story-and it's exactly as appealing as that description sounds. Rated: C- Jun 1, 2016 Full Review Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture The film has more in common with a Tim & Eric infomercial parody than anything Penelope Spheeris ever made. Rated: 2/5 Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Edward Douglas Film Journal International Guns N' Roses rocker's inane babbling does little to enhance this tedious doc. Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Interesting and artfully produced, but it's not complete, in a hurry to summarize Duff McKagan's journey when there's plenty of reason to slow down and examine this eventful life in full. Rated: B- Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

júlio a Caramba...porque uma nota tão baixa pra esse doc do Duff? Tá certo que pula MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUITA coisa...mas não é tão ruim assim não. É mais sobre a vida pessoal dele do que as bandas que passou. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Thought it was okay. Duff is an interesting guy, I thought a movie about him should have been better told. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely more for the Guns N Roses fans out there, but I did really like the view into how important early punk was to the development of the band. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Read the amazing book instead. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Duff comes through as equal parts flawed human being and highly likable rock n roll veteran. Unfortunately, this vanity doc skips over an enormous amount of grit and dirt and goes right into a rote recovery story with a predictable happy ending. Happy for you, dude but this isn't very rock n roll or even passingly interesting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I find it ironic in this Rock doc of Duffs book Scott Wield doesn't get a tribute But he gives Andrew Wood and Layne Stanley Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
