It's fascinating to watch these guys make one of the most important rock albums of all time (maybe the LAST important rock album?) without them knowing the impact it would have. It's an entertaining behind-the-scenes rockumentary for Green Day fans, but it also serves as a reminder for all artists of the importance of just making stuff regardless of what you think it may be in the end.

A Gift for Green Day Fans
Well ...
I am a Green Day fan, no doubt about it. But this documentary I felt could have been so much better. We basically get to see them perform the album with little tid bits in-between. I would have preferred to have heard more about the songs and seen the recording process a little more. The performances were stella, of course they are, because it's Green Day. Watch if you're a fan.
A movie for the fans
The following is a review of the Green Day documentary Heart like a Hand Grenade.
Through the first quarter we are through a once art house, which already there makes me really tired. We are also led through and a long music video that just goes on and on. It's great music, but I do not understand the dancers at all. Would rather just watch Green Day play their music, and see the making of this one.
However, I am also allowed to do just that, and it was great to see the creation of, among other things, the big hit Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
It's probably a good documentary for hardcore fans, but pretty boring for others in the long run.
