I wavered between thinking these characters were delusional and heroic. I ended up somewhere close to admirable. I’m a sucker for people who are obsessed with what they do—and albeit that Anvil is a somewhat cheesy metal act from 1984, the lead singer “Lips” genuinely inspired me. That guy loves to play guitar and sing and won’t give up because giving up simply isn’t an option for him.

Warning: you may cry in this movie if you’re not careful.
