Synopsis

Story of the band NOFX. Chronicles how they met each other, achieved popularity and success, then completed a unique, triumphant farewell tour in 2024, following decades of struggle with health problems and internal conflicts.

Moviegoers are saying

Fans and casual listeners alike describe this as a raw, funny, and sometimes gross look at NOFX's final chapter, with Fat Mike's cocaine-fueled honesty and the heartbreaking fallout with Eric Melvin landing hardest. The film's most-quoted moment, Mike recounting shitting and vomiting blood at the Avenged Sevenfold guitarist's house, has become a running joke among viewers. Critics who wanted more of the band's history and label business feel shortchanged, but nearly everyone agrees the access is remarkable.

Full disclosure: I love this band, so this may be a bit skewed. I was at the final shows in San Pedro, but I somehow didn’t make the movie. One of the better music documentaries I’ve ever seen, especially because of the unfettered access and band’s openness to discuss…

I heard they suck live I wouldn’t call myself a big NOFX fan. I think I own less than eight of their six billion (no exaggeration) records. But I am a massive fan of punk rock and punk rock documentaries, and this was pretty outstanding. My opinion of NOFX aside, I…

I left having more questions than I did going in. I was really hoping to learn about the establishment of Fat Wreckchords, Mike as independent label boss, the mechanics/economics of distribution and touring in a pre-internet world, the conflicts that come from signing…

I finally got to see this thanks to the exclusive Scottish screening today. This film is equal parts hilarious, wholesome, poignant, upsetting and disgusting all in one. Documenting the rise and retirement of the punk band NOFX, it never shys away from content other bands…

"I have diabetes, I have to do cocaine now!" Refreshingly unvarnished for this type of thing, but it still feels like we're only scratching the surface. Too much "dramatic" score for my taste. He may be the Bill Maher of punk, but I still like Fat Mike. Even after all…

The more I think about it, this documentary is kinda shallow and weirdly manipulative. Don’t really learn anything about the band, it’s mostly fat mike’s pity party. And poor silly ungrateful Eric melvin. I adored NOFX and the band has such a rich and interesting history…

Never thought I’d be sentimental about a guy recounting how he was shitting and vomiting blood at the house of the guy from Avenged Sevenfold

Can’t believe it took 30 years to get a sequel. “I can’t believe I’m going to die at Avenge Sevenfold’s house.” is pure cinema.
