How is the world wrong about this film?

From Andras: It’s a perfect anti-ego trip from one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time. Paul Simon and director Robert M. Young render Simon’s “One Trick Pony” album on film with honestly funny performances from mostly musicians in a film that is ultimately heartbreaking or heartwarming depending on how much you believe in singer-songwriters.

Featuring an interview with Jordan Summers of the band ALL DAY SUCKER
