A feature-length, in-depth look at one of the world's most successful rock groups. This film tells the real story of Nickelback from their humble beginnings in Alberta, to the explosive global success of 'How You Remind Me' in 2001 and the record-breaking hits that followed and continue to this day. But with that 'Rockstar' fame came an early wave of the online negativity that many other artists have faced since. In a refreshingly open, honest, and revealing account, the band discuss the conception of Nickelback and their incredible rise to the top in the 2000's. They reveal the personal impact of the online vitriol, the loyalty of their fans and their decision to return after a 5-year break with a new record and a hugely successful new tour, finding themselves riding a sudden wave of online love that has introduced their music to an army of new fans.

This is how it reminds you that Nickelback is a Canadian rock group, and what more do you need to know than that? The movie simply repeats that basic tenet over and over, loudly and without any sense of self-consciousness.

As an authorized project primarily designed to celebrate rather than investigate, that hatred goes largely unexamined in this non-fiction affair.

3/5

While Leigh Brooks’ intimate look doesn’t shy way from the criticism of the group, the overall feeling is of a warm portrait of a band of brothers, cousins, schoolmates and a succession of drummers (and yes, that is as Spinal Tap-esque as it sounds).

This documentary is how Nickelback reminds you who they really am.

In the age of docs like Listening to Kenny G, which fully embraced and confronted its subject’s cheese, Hate to Love: Nickelback is a missed opportunity to say anything meaningful about the band or to defy the haters

3/5

An endearing overview of the band's career to date—especially one to delight Nickelback fans. Even though it might as well be a 90-minute episode of "Where Are They Now."
