Yes, it’s true what you’ve heard: you can achieve nirvana while watching Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. Or maybe that should be spelled “nirvanna” (double-n) like it is in the title? Either way, if you share even a smidgen of moviegoing DNA with me, chances are high that you will feel tremendously in-the-moment. You’ll immediately want to go back in time so that you can see it for the first time all over again, and you’ll also want to travel ahead in time so that you can see it for the second, fourth, and fiftieth times as soon as possible, all while keeping your consciousness in the present-day of a raucous theater.

I’m a BlackBerry Boy now! But only when it comes to the movie, not the phone, of course. Could you imagine, though? I’m making a motion for Research in Motion to stage a miraculous comeback in 2023! But let’s be kinder to each other this time around, please.

♪BlackBerry Beret!♪

Anyway, Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton were pretty much perfectly cast in this, and that’s all there is to it.
