This is a biopic of rock band Motley Crue who failed to conform to the pop music of the eighties. It follows the life of all four of the members allowing them all to have their monologue and asides. The film looks head on at the sex and drugs. The band sums it up at the end by saying it was amazing that they were all still alive and not in jail. Very entertaining and well done.
F-word, sex, nudity.

Have a bump with me.
This definitely is The Dirt...
Sure, I have been listening to metal for the better part of 30 years, and of course Mötley Crüe has been among the bands that I listened to. And sure, I knew that there has been controversy around the band, just never bothered to catch up on what the controversy was.
Then I found "The Dirt" on Netflix, and decided to watch it immediately. There was no hesitation, this was definitely a movie that needed to be watched. Sure, I had a little bit of worry about what it would be like - I mean, a movie based on a metal band.
I am very glad that I sat down to watch "The Dirt", because not only does it offer an amazing insight into the story behind the glam rock band, in terms of their career, their individual ambitions, their lifestyles, and how becoming rock stars affected them, but it also turns out that "The Dirt" is a very entertaining movie.
The movie has a very interesting ensemble of cast for the lead rockers; Colson Baker playing Tommy Lee, Douglas Booth playing Nicki Sixx, Daniel Webber playing Vince Neil and Iwan Rheon playing Mick Mars. These four really carried the movie so well individually and together on the screen. I think a lot of research has gone into the individual characters prior to shooting the movie, because it really seemed like they nailed the performances of the real band members.
"The Dirt" was entertaining from the very beginning and up to the end. And it definitely was a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from hardcore party to sadness, loss and heartache. I was thoroughly entertained by this movie, and was initially settling on a 7 out of 10 rating, but I am upping it to 8, because this movie is a MUST watch for fans of Mötley Crüe.
Good Docudrama
Very interesting movie! Enjoyed the cinema style, with the narration by each character and the look into the camera moments. Music was awesome. Would recommend.
