CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

dalldorfw After being forced to sing show-tunes, Alice Cooper and his band wreck an entire Hollywood movie set and drive off to their concert. Along the way they are pursued by the always angry German director and, for some reason, a viking. At some point they even enlist the help of a Lone Ranger-variant who's mask keeps falling off. The campy, Keystone-style chases are great fun for those with a goof-ball sense of humor but the real highlight is the live concert footage (filmed during the infamous 'Billion Dollar Babies' tour), in which Alice sings some of this best loved songs and delights his audience by doing some delightful things. Irreverent, gross, funny, tasteless and always entertaining. Lost since it's theatrical release, this didn't land on video until '05.

loveoftheneverman I don't intend on "spoiling it," but in case I do so inadvertently, there is the forewarning: I don't want to be banned.Alice Cooper was the ultimate post-1960's reaction to mid-1950's phenomenon. The urban legend of the name "Alice Cooper" deriving its origins from a "17th Century Witch," coupled with outrageous stage-antics ala Grand Guignol, only served to heighten the furor of that more tranquil, but yet still "boiling time." One must remember that, when "Love It To Death" (one of their best albums, it certainly beat "Killer" and "School's Out.") came out, the sixties hug-fest was over. "The Ballad of Dwight Frye" and "Caught In A Dream," captured perfectly the absolute futility of all established "norms." Truth be told, Shep Gordon and Bob Ezrin were as much responsible for "The Alice Cooper Group," perhaps even more-so, at the beginning, tban Alice himself.That being said, I feel the charges levelled at Alice by former band member Michael Bruce to be largely unfounded. Of course, he was there and I wasn't--however, the power, strength and above all *depth* of the original ACG was Alice himself--this is *so* evident during "Welcome To My Nightmare" (Alice Cooper's greatest work!) that it bears repeating.That being said, there *were* some great contributions by the other bandmembers--however, none of them could sustain the image and sick-glamor of Alice himself...

memery-1 This film shows the Alice Cooper band at its peak -- and unfortunately, during its final tour. The comedy segments where a film director and viking are pursuing the band are very weak, but the concert rocks! All of AC's classics (18, Billion Dollar Babies, I Love the Dead) are represented and rendered expertly. Alice was a major influence on rock and metal, but his crowd interactions are pure punk shtick -- taunting and insulting front row fans. The theatrics are minimal compared to other performances, but the music overshadows the stunts with a guillotine and saliva drenched mannequins. If you're an Alice fan, check this out on DVD -- and play the Concert Only option. Or, if you'r an AC neophyte, prepare to be surprised by a great performance by an underrated rocker.

Richard-161 'Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper' is based around a concert filmed during the Alice Cooper Group's infamous 'Billion Dollar Babies' US spring tour in 1973, with segments of old B/W movie footage edited in between songs.The concert footage, though a little dark due to bad lighting, is awesome viewing, documenting the group's most theatrical stage show filmed during their commercial peak (subsequently the group, after recording one more album, more or less broke up and Alice Cooper himself continued as a solo artist taking the onstage theatrics to new heights). However the movie as a whole does suffer from the B/W segments, which are a little long and boring at times, their inclusion not necessary as the concert footage itself would have successfully carried the movie.Interesting to note that the original version of this movie shown at its New York premiere featured comedy sketches of the group instead of the B/W segments. Apparently that version was badly received by the audience and the movie was then re-edited.Overall, a near-classic presentation of the classic Alice Cooper Group at the height of their career, a movie worthy of seeking out.
