Reviews & comments
Variety
pressWith highlights as good as The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” and the Boss’ “My City of Ruins,” resistance is ultimately futile.
Time Out
pressThough the doc plays sincerity by the book, shoehorning in a ton of Jersey Shore cleanup, you get a real feeling for the crazy quilt of tristate community, bonded by crisis and "Baba O'Riley."
The New York Times
pressSandler's uproarious off-color parody of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah injects the film with an inspired note of raucous comedy that undercuts any pretensions to solemnity.
The Dissolve
pressNever goes beyond the level of a really good bonus feature on a special-edition concert CD.
