It's So Easy plays like a public Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with McKagan at the mic apologizing for his misdeeds. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 06/03/2016

Duff McKagan is talented, smart and nice. ... His story deserves a better movie. Go to Full Review Alex McLevy AV Club 06/01/2016

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. Go to Full Review Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture 07/17/2019
2/5
The film has more in common with a Tim & Eric infomercial parody than anything Penelope Spheeris ever made. Go to Full Review Edward Douglas Film Journal International 06/02/2016
Guns N' Roses rocker's inane babbling does little to enhance this tedious doc. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 06/02/2016
B-
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

júlio a @RT51210674 08/14/2020 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. See more 01/05/2017 Thought it was okay. Duff is an interesting guy, I thought a movie about him should have been better told. See more 11/28/2016 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. See more 11/20/2016 Read the amazing book instead. See more 11/11/2016 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. See more 10/30/2016 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 See more Read all reviews
