I just read Dennis Dunaway's book and he wasn't thrilled with this movie. The band wasn't asked for any creative input and they are pretty much reduced to lurking in the shadows during their performance. Obviously Alice is the star but more shots of the rest of the band members would have made that part of the film more visually dynamic.
He didn't care for The Monkees-like approach to the tone of the film with the (painfully long) comedic interludes between the concert footage. Speaking of The Monkees, too bad the Alice movie isn't as inspired as their feature film, Head. Imagine the Alice Cooper Group going on a series of surreal romps with their brand of the macabre added to the mix.
I first watched Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper when it was released on DVD by Shout Factory. It didn't leave much of an impression on me then, nor did it on a second viewing. The band had a lot of talent and wrote some great songs, so the movie feels like a missed opportunity.
