Leave your thoughts about It's So Easy and Other Lies.
| The Arts DeskSarah KentStanley Tucci's Final Portrait, his first film in 10 years, is in a class of its own. |
| Film Journal InternationalEdward DouglasGuns N' Roses rocker's inane babbling does little to enhance this tedious doc. |
| MTVAmy NicholsonIt's So Easy plays like a public Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with McKagan at the mic apologizing for his misdeeds. |
| AV ClubAlex McLevyThe entire thing is basically an hour and a half advertisement for the written version, done as a sort of live audiobook of excerpts from his story-and it's exactly as appealing as that description sounds. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshIt’s So Easy suffers from an approach that leans more on telling than showing, and we just have to take his word for it that his life’s events are that fascinating. |
| Alt Film GuideMark KeizerLacks a style that would help a conventional story of rock and roll excess achieve a broader emotional or historical significance. |
| The A.V. ClubAlex McCownThe film is too much of a cut-and-paste mess to coast by on the charms of its protagonist. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThe movie has an undeniable black hole at its center in the fact that it barely mentions Axl Rose, and includes no original Guns N' Roses recordings. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckIt's So Easy and Other Lies makes for a tedious cinematic experience that will only be appreciated by McKagan's hard-core fans. And even they're likely to come away less than enthusiastic. |
| User ReviewDon WDefinitely more for the Guns N Roses fans out there, but I did really like the view into how important early punk was to the development of the band. |
