Buy this DVD even if you aren't a fan of Green Day, blink, Jimmy Eats World or Kut-U-Up (although I guarantee that you will be a Green Day fan AFTER viewing it) because it is the funniest thing you will ever see. This movie could have been a mess, but Oscar-worthy editing and a great sound track saved the day. It's actually a good film, deserving of recognition. We watch it at least once a week and sometimes twice a day.

My fave bits are:

-Green Day on stage (Mike Dirnt is wonderfully loose-limbed),

-a shirtless (and extensively tattooed) Billie Joe Armstrong rubbing cake in Mike's hair,

-Billie Joe spanking or kissing a variety of guys,

-Billie swinging from the chandelier of a two-story hotel room until it rips out of the ceiling and later limping down the hotel hallway dragging the chandelier like some demented party favor until he runs into Mike, who collapses in laughter,

-Billie branding a somewhat willing Chris Cote from Kut-U-Up ("How could I say no to the King of Punk?") on the bum with a pool bridge (heated with cigarette lighters) after convincingly telling him, "Just put a little Neosporin on it; it'll be fine, I swear!",

-Billie proudly showing his charmingly horrified wife, Adrienne, the damage to Chris' ass.

The manic joy in Billie's eyes throughout these adventures is a thing of beauty.

My only regret is that Tre Cool isn't on camera more. He's shown with his then wife, who appears to have a pretty tight rein on him, although near the end he does manage to get off a quick champagne toast, "Here's to ass f*cking!"

"Riding in Vans with Boys" is money well spent.

I was introduced to this DVD almost a year ago. Since, I have watched it about once a week. Regardless of whether or not you like Blink 182's "Pile-of-Music" or rock out Green Day, or even the stylin's of Kut-U-up this DVD is hilarious. The fact that all this happened unscripted makes it even better. The Soundtrack rules too, including music from YOVEE and Jimmy Eats World.

If you stuck an IV pumping straight Vodka into the blood of MTV's Wild Boyz and made them into a punk band and sent them on tour with Blink 182 and Green Day...and made it into a DVD documentary, you get...one hilarious, crazy, drunken mess of a DVD that you will want to watch over and over. Riding in Vans with Boys is a must see DVD for any punk fan!!!

This DVD is a must for anyone who likes punk rock. you might have seen the previews on MTV but that was edited this is not. The best DVD i have ever bought. Funny, intresting, and a little sad at times.

"Hilarious" you will never see tom delonge as drunk as this and cut you up will make you cry with their immature humor

This movie is so funny i fell off my couch laughing. unfourtunately i'm the only one in my family who thinks this is funny.the rest of them think its either terrible or just plain weird. and weird it is, but that's what adds to the demented charm of this movie

Best Part: Billie Joe branding Chris' ass...comic genius!

this is the best music dvd i have ever purchased and unlike the rest of these reviews i am a fan of kut u up. everone has said this is a great movie for blink and green day fans but most of the movie is on kut u up. it tells about them going from being a band that plays for there friend to playing on this huge tour(pop disaster tour). if you like watching a band that is hillarious and is on there way to being the worlds drunkest rock band get this dvd.

Although Green Day are not in the movie all that much, the parts in which they are in, they totally steal the show. Any Green Day fan should buy this to watch, as should any Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, or Kut-U-Up fan. Even if you are not a fan of any of those bands, you can watch some truely hilarious bits in this movie. It shows full on punk tour antics at their finest. If you are a fan of the show Jackass, this movie will more than likely remind you of that. As I said previously, Green Day steals the show. It shows the wonderful Billie Joe Armstrong urinate on a wall before going to play their set onstage, branding Chris Cote's rear end with a pool cue, swinging from a chandelier, kissing random guys, and much more. If you like insane antics, this movie is well worth your money, whether you are a fan of any of the bands in it or not.

Blink 182 and Green Day have finally collaborated and created the best tour of that time. Kut u Up, a small local band, realize this as they follow the band on tour. And open the show.

As a small local band, they seem to bring the younger days of the members of Blink 182 and Green Day out into the open. As smoking, drinking and cussing young men they cause a laugh at almost every word. It is a complete must-have for Blink 182 fans, and those Green Day fans who are open to the fact that their boys may have been questioned their sexuality.

The bands get drunk, play for 30 minutes to an hour, walk off stage and get drunk again.

It's a must see for anyone who can relate; Fan or not.

Este DVD es algo que cualquier buen fan de alguna de las bandas incluidas en el debe tener, no deben perderse la interaccion de los miembros cada banda.
