I am a big fan of documentaries about rock bands and believe me this one is great. It tells the story of Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny, and Tommy Ramone of the great punk rock group called The Ramones. It really captures all the issues of misfortune, fame, drugs, and falling out of friendships in this movie. The movie features interviews with all four original members plus the ones that took over various positions like Marky, CJ, and Richie. It also features commentary from Blondie, Legs McNeil, Lars Frederiksen, and many more. It also features never before seen concert footage and a whole lot more. Michael Gramaglia and Jim Fields do an excellent job directing this movie and if you want to know more about the Ramones, then rent this movie cause it's worth it. Plus, you also learn a lot about the origin of punk and how The Ramones started it not the Sex Pistols or The Clash. Four Stars Out Of Five
