Aroview: In a near-apocalyptic future America, a popular singer (Bob Dylan) sets out on a nationwide tour to revive his career before heading into a tailspin of random encounters, dark fantasy and surreal political satire.

Co-penned by Dylan and dir. Charles (SEINFELD), this magisterial rock-star indulgence is furnished with loads of Dylan songs, multiple star-cameos and intriguing, if foggy concepts, that rarely cohere into a managable form. Essential for diehard fans of Bob, less so for the rest of us.

3 stars (Good Enough) A bit of an odd screenplay in between the musical segments supported by a number of cameos some longer than others. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) Dylan ambles his way through a waggish tale of what it's like to be stuck inside one's (ie. his) own legend. Great soundtrack, of course. ~Shorty
