The Travers Take

3.5/4

It’s not what you think. It’s as if Monty Python had an excellent adventure with Bill & Ted & Borat. You will laugh helplessly.

5/5

The result preserves the scrappy, improvised amiability of the original while expanding it into a diabolically clever comedy, poignantly pivoting around two chums as they confront the distance between youthful certainty and middle age.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is a gloriously eccentric one-off: a lo-fi time-travel picture that playfully twists the rockumentary format.

The kind of comedy that is even more fun when you experience it with a friend.

A-

It’s side-splitting funny and very smart, a love letter to one of 1980’s most iconic films, "Back to the Future."

For the niche who can adapt to NtBtStM’s wavelength, it’s a pretty good kind of ridiculous.

One of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, absolutely see it with as little pre-knowledge going in as possible.
