Americana: Documentary Reviews:
Worse Video I have seen! 
2008-05-11 - I was really looking forward to seeing this video after reading the reviews here, but I wish I had bypassed it altogether. There is nothing here of musical value and the stunts are weak at best. The only thing worth watching are the two music video the band created using video cameras for the songs Cool To Hate and MOTA. The rest of the video is garbage and the sound quality is terrible. Although some have given The offspring's other video "Huck It" bad ratings, it is a much better video than this one (at least it contains some decent live footage.)
You best bet is to just listen to this album and stay away from this video, unless you like garbage as was presented in Slipknot's latest video "Voliminal - Inside the nine." (The movie part of this video, NOT the bonus material.)
Ehhhh 
2003-05-13 - This is more of an interesting thing to watch, but it has things you can find almost anywhere. Bike stunts, snowboard stunts, skateboarding, etc. It never hurts though. The cream of the whole movie though, is a "music video" type thing for Mota. That's one of my favorite things of all time. This is probably only for somewhat diehard fans, but maybe not.
Excellent DVD! 
2002-12-29 - Yes, just like that (stupid) guy said in that review, it has a bad quality, but the DVD in the back says: "This is not a Hollywood Production, just The Offspring & Friends" and also a lot of things that "tell you" that the video only contains stuff about the band, not from the Americana album.
This video is intended to "show" the origins of the band, and it's hillarious sometimes. If you want some Offspring entertainment, this is the item you must have.
(And get "Huck It" if you want 'stuff' from the latest album and some extreme sports, and funny things too).

Only for the hardcore fans!! 
2000-12-13 - Ok, some people say this DVD is poor quality, and it is, but on purpose. It was shot entirly with old home video equipment. Its not a multi-million dollar hollywood production because the Offspring aren't into that. Anyways, it has a lot of action such as Skateboarders, BMXers, and even the offspring themselves street luging. Also, its got some random bits like a bunch of guys trying to get beer, and some scenes set to the music of the Offspring. There really isnt much to do with Americana on this DVD which is fine with me becaue Im more of a fan of Smahs, Ignition and Ixnay. Theres some live concert footage, but I would have liked to see more of that, plus it lacks any kind of music video. Thats the reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5. If it had contained all of their music videos through Americana this would have been the best Offspring Item to own!!
