One For the Road: Directed by Amy Pickard

One For The Road captures the same kind of sprightly fun as a Peter Pan tale. In it, director Amy Pickard realizes her dream of having an “all access” pass to the life of her pop idol Glenn Tilbrook–lead singer, guitarist and music writer for Squeeze. Tilbrook (Pan) has since broken off with Squeeze (The Lost Boys), teamed up with Suzanne Hunt (Wendy) and taken his act on the road in a recreational vehicle (wretched pirate ship).

Pickard (Tinkerbell) documents the man and the musician on tour, complete with the playful show antics he is becoming famous for. Tilbrook soars with talent as a guitar player and singer, and augments that by being a highly interactive performer who creates memorable evenings for his fans by engaging them as backup singers and acting out stunts with them.

Pickard does an excellent job of keeping life on the road entertaining and moving along at a pleasurable pace, but what good is a story without conflict? Tilbrook and company must do battle with the RV many times before the stint is up and other poignant moments round out the film, which consistently maintains a professional sparkle.

Special Features include commentary by Pickard, commentary by Tilbrook with Pickard, an extended interview with former Squeeze-mate Chris Difford, a 1991 interview with Difford and Tilbrook by Pickard, and Tilbrook enjoying a question and answer session through an interpreter in Japan.
