I'm not big on rock-oriented films, but the profile from childhood of these not-the-Partridge-Family rockers rings true. The term fearless freaks says it all. Find out why.

I was not aware of this film, but am very happy to have stumbled across it. If you enjoy this band, you simply must watch this film.

I think Wayne Coyne is my new favorite person. I have always loved this band, but to see how down to earth they are is amazing.

That's all....Wow! oh 20 characters...wow wow wow

i really enjoy this movie, mainly because the flaming lips are such a wonderful band and human beings. my dad had major heart surgery in march of this year. i listened to the soft bulletin on repeat the entire day, as a calming excerise. at the end of my work day i got the call from mom saying everything was o.k. and dad would be just fine. after that i wrote the flaming lips a message on myspace explaining the days events and how i choose to deal with the stress and doubt of the day by listening to their wonderful record. the very next day a little message form the lips sat in my inbox telling me how they really hope my dad is feeling better and that they would love to send flowers to him in the hospital. now i don't know if this was a driect message form any of the real members of the flaming lips, or one of their minons that troll the internet n their behave, but they choose to comfort me, a nameless fan reaching through cyperspace. i know of no other band that would even begin to do that. for that i will always love this band. i felt that they changed my life in a little way. isn't that what you want from the artist you listen to, or watch, some tiny bit of personal connection? i think they deliver this very down to earth message inside of a surreal box, because it is so much easier to belive in the odd and funny than to face things like death, sadness, and despair head on and still have a bright outlook.

It feels like we've survived decades' worth of "Behind The Music" horror stories of the inflated egos and big-money habits of the bands we've grown to love, and this grassroots, grungy story about a band -- and a man, Wayne Coyne -- who approach life with simple joy is a breath of fresh air.Absolutely terrific documentary, even for people who aren't familiar with the music. It's a human story about real people who largely haven't let success go to their heads. Really, it's a touching reminder of the good that human beings are able to accomplish with their lives.

I always liked the Lips even though I didn't always like the music. It's great to see and hear their story, but most of all this film reminded me that I am also a musician.I've let the feeling that I can't play my instruments as masterfully as others cloud my desire to play, and all my ideas have been fizzling into nothing for years.I doubt you'll see me on Austin City Limits, but I'm going to start making my own music again. This film is a great reminder for lost musicians.
