4/4

It’s also an early contender for the funniest and most charming movie of the year.

Viewed charitably, “Nirvanna” is both a mockumentary and a pensive scan of the road not taken, its pell-mell energy tempered by pathos.

3/5

Johnson and McCarrol’s weird mix of Jackass, Portlandia, and Letterkenny is undented, and their willingness to skirt the rules of copyright to make a reference work is still intact. Yes, even after all these years, the joke’s still funny.

In this pseudo-sci-fi saga of two idiotic, loveable strivers, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol have achieved something that’s genuinely awe-inspiring.

4.5/5

Indisputably one of the funniest comedies of the decade thus far. I haven’t been obsessed with something this deeply Canadian since Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World.

Not everyone's cup of tea. But if you enjoy quirky humor and colorful characters willing to do anything – and I mean anything – to entertain you, count on Matt and Jay’s risky schtick to consistently shock and awe.

I thought I would love it and laugh more. It was clever but not what I was expecting. The ending wasn’t great. There wasn’t any big laughs that I was expecting. Still a clever idea of a movie.

Absolutely the funniest movie I've ever seen in theaters. Matt and Jay are both so incredibly talented at showing their raw emotion- even if you haven't seen Nirvana The Band The Show, you will become invested in their friendship and taken through a wild ride. Beautifully filmed, edited, and written. Go see it!!!
