Nirvanna: the Band - the Show - the Movie (15)

— ,Cinemas

Two hapless bandmates' perpetual effort in trying to book a gig in Toronto goes haywire, Back To The Future-style.

Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol take their cult comedy web series and TV show (Nirvanna the Band the Show) to the hilarious max in this mockumentary spin-off film.

When two bandmates' plan to book a show at the Rivoli goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008, and as every interaction threatens to impact their future selves, their only hope of getting back to the current era is to find a bottle of an obsolete soft drink. 

Gloriously silly, this time-travel comedy's take on friendship and creative ambition brings unexpected charm.
