An arena-ful of fans loved every second of this 68-minute concert (recorded in May 2003 in Buffalo, New York) by then-18-year-old pop sensation Avril Lavigne. And while the singer's charms may elude anyone older than, say, 25, that won't stop the sk8er boyz 'n' gurls who bought her Let Go CD by the millions from digging this, her first DVD, as well. Fact is, Lavigne's rather tuneless, sometimes off-key singing isn't her strong suit. And her songwriting... well, Lennon and McCartney, or even the Go-Go's, are in no danger. But she isn't without talent, and she's got attitude to spare (even if that 'tude has a certain MTV-style lack of conviction or insight). Combine that with the loud, crunching guitars, the anthemic, driving choruses of Lavigne's songs, and tons of bonus features (including a six-song, audio-only CD), and you've got more than enough to keep the kids satisfied. After all, it's a rock show, dude. --Sam Graham

Customer Reviews:
Good Old Avril.......2007-05-15
In her best fase, she sing with attitude, does gr8 music and prepares perfect video clips. Special attention to "Knocking On The Heaven's Door" where she is engaged to a humanitary issue.
Great concert, awesome talented singer.......2007-04-07
I thoroughly enjoyed her DVD 'My World'. Avril is very talented for her age. I have a lot of admiration and respect for her. Go Avril! I'm looking forward to receiving her latest CD/DVD limited edition combo 'The Best Damn Thing': The Best Damn Thing (CD/DVD Deluxe Limited Edition)
Why isnt there a new live DVD?.......2007-03-14
I have this DVD and it's a great deal. You get a brief on the road documentary of Avril on her first tour; you also get a complete performance from one of her concerts featuring all the songs on the first album (and then some). It's obvious to anyone objective that Avril's singing wasn't very good when she first came out. However, I recently caught a performance of her from Mad TV, singing my favorite song from her second CD. I have to say it was incredible. It's obvious that she has put the time in to her craft and is turning into a phenomenal artist. Given how phenomenal she is now, I dont understand why her record company hasnt released a new DVD....
Everything wasn't okay.......2006-08-28
Show-3 stars
Extras/Bonus CD-4.5 stars
Overall-3.75 stars
The back of this DVD screams "Avril like she's never been seen before", and while that may be true, it's still nothing to write home about. Don't get me wrong, I like Avril Lavigne just as much as the next person but this performance is just above being mediocre. Sure all the energy that makes a show great is there, she sounds good through about 3/4 of the concert and the band sounds like they do on the CD. Why the meager rating then? As much as I like Let Go I don't think that gave her grounds to release a concert in which she plays pretty much every song on it. There's songs I'm just flat out sick of by now so I don't really want to see them played live. However, Losing Grip, amazing.
The real reason to buy this is for the bonus CD. I personally liked her rendition of the Metallica great Fuel simply because it was so different from the original. Also, one of my favorite Avril songs is included, Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Performed acoustically, Avril's voice has never sounded more pristine and sincere. The DVD extras aren't too shabby either. The videos, minus Sk8er Boi, are pretty good and the inclusion of Knockin' only impressed me more. And the behind-the-scenes will be fun for any fan to see.
Basically if you like Avril enough to buy a CD of hers you'll like this as well. While the show isn't particularly mind-blowing the CD and extras more than make up for it. So yeah, if you can find it cheap (12.99 isn't bad but I found it for 6.99 so just keep an eye out) then by all means check it out.
Avril Lavigne is awesome.......2006-06-18
This DVD is awesome. It has really good songs. Avril Lavigne has a really good voice.

What It Lacks as a Comedy It Makes Up in Charm.......2006-09-05
"Global Heresy" a/k/a "Rock My World" is an odd little ($12 Million) production that was incorrectly marketed as another "Spinal Tap". I've seen "Spinal Tap" and this is no ......... But what it lacks in comedy it makes up in unpretentious charm.
You wonder what idiot determines the target audience for these productions. With Alicia Silverstone posed in tight silver pants on the poster, they tried unsuccessfully to market it to Gen X viewers; but Alicia has at best a small supporting role and never appears in the pictured outfit so it is no surprise that it did not catch on with that demographic. Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright play the two main characters and they are unlikely to attract young viewers. Baby boomers are the audience most likely to connect with the film, despite a cast that is a mix of actors older and younger than that group. But boomers are the real rock fans and are old enough to appreciate the subtle script and the underplayed performances of O'Toole and Plowright. Too bad it was not originally marketed to that group.
The original ill-conceived title refers to the name of an American rock band whose founder has disappeared and is feared dead. Needing time to integrate his replacement (bass player Silverstone) into the group, their management company rents an English estate from the impoverished Lord and Lady Foxley where they can secretly rework their material. The couple finds out that they can make even more money by impersonating the servants. Much the same premise as "High Spirits", where O'Toole rented his haunted Irish castle to tourists.
The band members like to party but are basically likable young people and their music is actually pretty good. O'Toole's character starts out as a Lionel Barrymore type curmudgeon but eventually loosens up (big surprise). The two disparate groups learn a lot from each other and the film almost crosses the line into sappy city. Fortunately Plowright manages to hold things together with a performance that nicely grounds things and makes the whole concept seem plausible.
On the plus side the film was nicely shot and has an overall great look to it. And there is a nice bit of misdirection concerning the record company executive that you might or might not see coming-the clues are there but you might miss them.
On the minus side there is an extremely weak homage to George Roy Hill's "Funny Farm"; instead of a speeding mailman "Rock My World" has a Mini driver paperboy who terrorizes O'Toole's character. This bit is not funny the first time and is repeated on countless occasions throughout the film.
Bottom line, "Rock My World" is a good watch for boomers.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
Terrible.......2006-06-03
This movie is really bad. Not even Alicia could save it. Not even worth renting.
rocked my world.......2006-03-30
I stumbled across this movie while flipping around my HBO-type channels. I stopped when I heard the music although I had no idea what I was watching. I was surprised the see Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright in these roles but they seemed to be having fun!! I like when actors take on tongue in cheek roles and don't mind stepping down a bit.
I made sure I caught the full movie next time it was showing. I must admit that I found the movie fun to watch. You didn't have to think, you didn't have the melodrama or depressing attitudes of today's movies. You just sit and enjoy the movie and the music.
OTOOLE AND PLOWRIGHT ROCK.......2005-11-15
This is a surprisingly good and entertaining movie you've probably never heard of, and it's a shame. Just spending ninety minutes with Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright is worth the price! They play a snooty Lord and Lady undergoing financial strife who rent out their lovely manor to a famous rock band who is looking for a place to regroup and write new music. They've lost their founder and leader, and have hired Alicia Silverstone to replace him as their bassist. But what makes this movie so delightful is the cultural differences we see between the masquerading butler and his wife and the wordly demeanor of the band members. Director Sidney J. Furie smartly keeps the focus on these differences and how the inter-relationships change all involved. The entire cast is perfect, with Silverstone surrendering gracefully to the marvelous performances of the seasoned veterans. ROCK MY WORLD is a refreshingly entertaining surprise of a movie. Recommended.
Great music, decent movie.......2004-09-27
I saw this on Starz a couple weeks ago and ever since i have wanted to get the movie just for the music. I was really disappointed to find they didn't have a soundtrack to it. The movie itself isn't that bad. A little predictable (but that is typical Disney there) but good. Does casino have any cds out?
