The cover to the documentary.

Can't Buy Me Lunch was a documentary released in 2005, narrated by Melvin Hall, and a sequel to All You Need Is Cash. It received mainly negative reviews, with many complaining that it was simply an update for modern audiences. The film was panned by Barry Wom, who had to turn it off after ten minuets. Ron Nasty stated on the film, "we used to think he [Melvin Hall] had delusions of grandeur, now we know it's only grandeur".

Plot[]

Twenty-four years after the original, documentarist Melvin Hall interviews musicians, actors, and other entertainment figures about the days of the popular band The Rutles.

In the interviews with David Bowie, he is seen holding a copy of the vinyl album The Rutles 1, calling it a "piece of marketing extravagance."
