Behind the Life of Chris Gaines (1999)
To promote the release of his album Garth Brooks in... The Life of Chris Gaines, Garth Brooks appeared as Chris Gaines in a television "mockumentary," a version of VH1's seminal cable classic Behind the Music, featuring a totally made-up tale that just may be the greatest rock n' roll documentary ever made. This piece of art has everything that makes the story of being a rockstar fucking cool. It has childhood trauma, record label trauma, death, disfigurement, a plane crash, a car crash, sex addiction, redemption, a house fire, random unexplained commentary from Billy Joel, and more sex addiction.

Really Surprised!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
