The music monologues are priceless and confirmed what I already thought about certain bands although I never saw Alice Cooper's music in that light. I have to rethink my opinion!
Not a great film IMO but a great bit of social commentary. I could connect with all of it, even as a young adult. I loved that he rips Diablo Cody and the Juno film. I thought scathing american idol being the central story arc was kinda redundant but otherwise very thought-provoking.

Spoiler for ":
shooting the baby was pretty awesome too
