THEIR MUSIC MADE THEM FAMOUS. THEIR LIVES MADE THEM INFAMOUS.Â
Perhaps the screen adaptation of Neil Strauss’s wild biography on the history of glam metal band Mötley Crüe needed a director who’s made his fair share of Jackass movies. If you came looking for sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll, that’s what you’re getting in spades; the film grabs your attention and holds it for quite some time. But just like so many other biographies it tries to do too much; there are too many characters with rich stories. After a while, we’re exhausted and what should feel touching turns out a little flat. The cast is OK.
