It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
ELECTRIC APRICOT is a cheap rip-off of THIS IS SPINAL TAP, a no-budget indie put out by Troma because nobody else would bother releasing it. It's another mockumentary following a bunch of long-haired rockers going around and forming a 'jam' band and trying to hit the big time. Expect a bit of music, exaggerated performances, and a lot of unfunny humour.
In the style of "This Is Spinal Tap," a pseudo-documentary film burlesque and improbable. Completely out of touch in the wonder-world of Hollywood California's artists, the band, victim of the industrial musical system, go on record for a so called tour in the countryside of the United States. No one really understands what happens once they turn up, they got lost in the maze of the high ! The scenario is just hilarious and Claypool, the extraterrestrial Bass-player of the legendary band "PRIMUS", gives us here a production from his planet ! An excellent unknown footage. Recommended for fans, freaks, curious of nonsense among others !
This movie is amazing. Simply put it is the greatest thing I've watched in last 21 years. Given, I am only 21 years old. That's just how amazing it is. I find it hard to believe that wasn't released in theaters. I'd imagine it would have made so much money. Everything about the film is fantastic. The only thing I could think of that would have made it better would have been more cameos by musicians/interviews with scene kids outside the Warfield, etc. This is really a great thing Les has done here. I pray he continues his efforts. He's a really, really funny guy.I find it sad that you're reading this instead of watching the movie.It's F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.
When I bought my ticket, I wasn't prepared for the laughter I'd soon experience. Musicians are well known for their senses of humor, but Les Claypool really outdid himself. This guy's got it down; to make great music and great movies is a very admirable skill.Even those who are not musically inclined will love this movie. Each character reflects their real-life counterparts, whom we all know and love.If you laughed at Spinal Tap, you'll cackle and howl at Electric Apricot. This is, by far, the best film National Lampoon has had its name on--at least in the last ten years.From an avid musician, this is a no-brainer to recommend all around.
