Intriguing and almost unbelievable story. Interviews are great and give insight into these strange characters.

Thought provoking documentary about music industry, the pursuit for success, but also how innocent lies can destroy lives and friendship

Interesting documentary about two chancers from Scotland who fooled the record industry into thinking they were American so they could be signed to a record label. I do not care for this type of music much, but it was interesting to see how the story played out.

This is like something out of an 80's comedy. A fascinating, funny, dark, insane documentary about two lads from Scotland who pretend to be a hip hop duo from L.A and in the process land a record deal. A must see.

The fooled them all - This gripping documentry was so so so good and the boys so likeable. How they managed to do it who knows. They did become a bit creepily to much like their make up alto agos but the never faltered.

An intriguing insight into the gullibility of the music industry.

The crazy true story of two talented chancers and their ultimate mistakes - fair play til ya boys!

Another very good documentary brought by Storyville!

An important film to expose what idiots we have running the music industry in Britain. If ever proof was needed that the money men don't care about how good or bad the music is, it's just about the hype. It's good to see people turning the ridicule back on them for once. What's a bit sad is that they were forced into lying to be able to do what they love. Respect due for the intellegence of these lads for working out the formula though. The movie is a gripping documentary; you're always waiting for the bubble to burst or get a bit bigger.

Great watch on how 2 lads from Dundee got a recording contract by pretending to be from California.... Exposes just how vacuous and morally bankrupt the music industry is

The Great Hip Hop Hoax builds its story and has something to say about the music industry, even if, by the climax, it feels unexplosive.

A thoroughly entertaining exploration of a friendship strained by an extraordinary situation.

The film doesn't quite hit the mark as a hard-nosed exposé of a shallow, trend-led business, but it does work as a winsome study of the fickle nature of fame.

It's mostly a poppy, funny anecdote, if no advert for the music biz: Daniel Bedingfield emerges as one of its savvier souls.

Engaging and enjoyable documentary enlivened by a likeable central duo and a wealth of superb archive footage, though there's actually very little substance to the story outside of the basic synopsis.
