Jeffrey M. Anderson San Francisco Examiner As a greatest-hits collection it's unbeatable, highlighted by a performance of the gorgeous "Fairytale of New York." Rated: 3/4 Sep 5, 2003 Full Review Gregory Weinkauf New Times A booze-soaked, rousing, engaging portrait, funnier and weirder than the bogus folkumentary A Mighty Wind and as touching as the Sex Pistols pic The Filth and the Fury.
