Sandler'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. Full Review
Though 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." Full Review
Part concert film, part behind-the-scenes documentary and part a sobering account of the devastating effects on the tri-state area of Hurricane Sandy... Full Review
With highlights as good as The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” and the Boss’ “My City of Ruins,” resistance is ultimately futile. Full Review
Never goes beyond the level of a really good bonus feature on a special-edition concert CD. Full Review
