FULL SYNOPSIS
Recalling This Is Spinal Tap (1984), this darkly funny Australian mockumentary details the decidedly inglorious rise and fall of Dan Vardy-Cobb, the self-proclaimed "sensitive new age warrior." The film opens with Vardy-Cobb working in his father's lawnmower shop in the suburbs of Melbourne. At a talent show, he is "discovered" by an agency representative while singing "Chrystalized (by Your Touch)," a song inspired by his kind-hearted girlfriend Chrystal. Prodded by the agency, the ambitious Vardy-Cobb hands over a wad of cash to produce his first CD, "Lake of Love." The album goes nowhere and the only gig he can book is a disastrous lunchtime concert at a mall where he is mercilessly heckled by a band of snotty teens. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
