The Long Road to Cabo (2003)
The Long Road to Cabo is a delightful documentary about rock & roll fellowship, featuring Sammy Hagar as the founder of a summer-long feast of heavy metal, Van Halen memories, and many bared female bosoms (in Hagar's audiences, that is). Looking more like a mellow, mid-life surfer than hairy rock icon from the 1980s, the ever-expansive Hagar leads the Waboritas through a long, hot 2002 tour, sharing a bill with David Lee Roth, Hagar's co-outcast from Van Halen. Despite their shared ignominy, Roth rebuffs Hagar's efforts at collaboration, or at least camaraderie, resulting in a competitive and entertainingly catty atmosphere.

Great Film overall
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
If you love Sammy, Van Halen, or even rock 'n' roll, you need to at least see this once in your lifetime. One of the best rock docs ever. ?This follows Sammy through the "Sans Halen" tour, where Sammy and Diamond Dave toured throughout the US. From the beginning of the disc until the end, everyone's having fun, hanging out, and rocking and loving it. It's great to see the audience having so much fun. If you're a big Roth fan, and you don't think that he's a gigantic stuck up d*ck, don't watch this. It will change your opinion, definitely. Sammy is so laid back, and right on. Little alcohol, little boob-age, and a lot of fun. You'll have a BLAST watching this!
