When three physically disabled rock musicians decide to form a band, they ask Dries, a famous writer, to be their drummer – even though he can’t play the drums.

What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
This grungy anti-musical will offend just about everyone with its attitude towards women, gays, kids, and the elderly.
The New York Times by Mike Hale
As the not-so-comic violence and the violent, misogynistic sex pile up, it becomes the kind of black humor in which the joke is largely on the audience.
Village Voice by Nicolas Rapold
The flashy adaptation of the book by aging Belgian provocateur Herman Brusselmans is as systematically offensive and boisterously vulgar as its degenerate punk protagonists.
