I bought this film for my husband as a surprise. And a surprise it was. This film is really great. Everybody who loves stoner-rock must see this film. Truckfighters are influenced by many other very good bands (qotsa, kyuss, fu manchu...), but they still do their own style and have much fun doing it. The music is hard, honest and unbelievably good. You can't watch without moving, the sound is awesome.

I have never seen an independent film before and I already regret that I haven't. This is a low-budget-production, but made with love and passion.

What is there more to say? Just buy the film, support that band and that filmmakers. It is worth it.

Best Rock band Documentary
bassofthelivingdead26 July 2012
I loved this Fuzzomentary. I love to watch rock band documentaries. Pearl Jam's and Foo Fighters documentary do not add up to how amazing this Fuzzomentary is. It reminds me of my own band (WOODEN NOMAD) When the going gets tough... Keep trucking. TruckFighters!!!

My girlfriend and I could not stop laughing. Ozo and Dango are my heroes. Pezo is an awesome drummer, but gees dude. I was feeling Ozo and Dango's pain with this guy. Hahaha…

Since I've had it, I've watched it 4 times. And only had it for 2 days now. And I'm going to watch it again tonight. It's so funny. Thanks again to the band and everything that has supported them and this awesome Fuzzomentary. It feels like it was made just for me. It's perfect. Thank you.

best rock documentary I've ever seen.. seriously
duderino-638-18322821 March 2013
there are a bunch of great and awful rock documentaries you can find, but not one caught me that much as the Fuzzomentary. Forget these strange polished documentaries, that suggest to tell the truth about rock and roll and the realness of making music.. this one's telling it the right way and it doesn't necessarily need to avoid a high quality artistic approach as you can see right here. reality is what you make out of it, and the reality of being a touring band was never told that beautiful and entertaining before. if truckfighters would be a fake band like spinal tab, this would be the coolest mockumentary ever. a brilliant film for everyone who's into rock music in general!

One of a kind fuzzomentary
francisco-jjts1 June 2012
They don't write stuff like this anymore. Truckfighters (the fuzzomentary) it may be the best documentary I've seen in 2011. It's not only for stoner fans (though it may enhance the viewing experience), but to any one who likes to see a good piece of video+story+music all together. It's a good accompaniment to "Such Hawks Such Hounds", and also it's a good way to wait for "Lo Sound Desert". No more to say about it, just view it, listen to it, and enjoy it. Quoting Rockaxis.cl "The documentary shows the band's history from birth to the recording sessions and subsequent promotion of the excellent "Mania" (2009)..." "With a humorous appeal, the record also shows the highest points in the history of the band, as his recent first tour of North America, the tour with Fu Manchu and a growing recognition from critics and the public."

No more to say about it, you just view it, listen to it, and enjoy it.

a great Fuzzomentary!!
esponda-sm11 March 2012
First time I heard Truckfighter's songs I thought: that sound, those riffs are outstanding: this is the sound... First time I watched Truckfighter's fuzzomentary I thought: that is awesome, those images are poetry: this is the fury... Truckfighters are the sound and the fury... FUZZYLICIOUS documentary: Great mix of crazy images, nice images, powerful sound, clever narrative, humor, passion, sweat, guitars, stoner rock, and tons and tons of FUZZ, all this,t for sure, is well defined in this words:

"There's a story in everyones life. Some of them are more dramatic, some of them less. Oh well, and it's about how you define the drama, right? Thisstory is smooth like the tide of a Swedish lake and wild like the mating habits of the moose belling through the woods. Well, maybe not that wild, but at least it's a good story."

Nuff said??!! TF keep rocking!

Great movie!, made me laugh and kind of love these guys at the end.
isabelitacerda23 March 2012
To be honest, I am not a fan of this band, actually I didn't know them before, probably because I don't even know that much about this genre of music. Still, I started watching this film expecting something good because I had seen before some previous works of Joerg Steineck which are actually pretty good, but this movie exceeded my expectations. I just loved the way the story was told, a funny way that keeps your attention from the beginning to the end, because mixed with creative images and of course good music, it shows in an honest way, the day by day of three normal guys, that within a normal life (jobs, kids, etc.), try to make their dream of playing their music, a reality. Great movie!, made me laugh and kind of love these guys at the end.

Insanely fat
kgren13 March 2016
I find this to be a modern classic cult status GREAT! It is a very very special film that should be enjoyed both by the current fans of the band but also people who have no clue of Truckfighters music. The film is great in itself and by digging the music I guess it gets even better!

The story is told in a way that builds up the tempo, shows feelings. It's spans from normal boring life to hard working rock life. In my opinion it's a real documentary, mockumentary in some small parts and fuzzomentary overall! Most band documentaries is a lot just around a tour and the minutes is filled up with live songs etc but this film is more focused on the whole life in a struggling rock band. Not glorifying rock stars. Pure reality. Great stuff.
