I'll keep it short. This band hanged my life when I thought I was the only black kid who "thought different". Have been a hardcore fan since 86'. Have gotten to know them and the film nails the vibe between Angelo and Norwood. I think the absence or even mention of John Bigham of Miles Davis fame, was a disappointment as he was the 7th member and not a founding member who thickened their sound on Reality of My Surroundings. The narration was Excellent by Lawrence Fishburne and the animations were a cool throwback to Fat Albert days. The ups and downs and the adventured of recovering a wayward guitarist (I won't spoil it), would make a great screenplay actually. I've turned a few friends on to this movie who had know idea of their influence and range that are now new fans twenty something years later. It is an excellent labor of love by the directors who took a lot of time with the band and the people who they have influenced, Flea, Gwen Steffani, George Clinton, Questlove, Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello to name a few, Great film making

That's it really. No pot holes in the story. Nothing wasted or overdone. Great film making, great special effects. You don't even need to play catch up with the prematurely canned series. There better be a sequel that brings Wash back! They did leave enough loose ends to merit a sequel so let's have one! The fans got this movie made. I just played catch up after the seeing it, somehow It blew right past me like many other shows on Fox. Maybe The Sci-Fi channel will resurrect it. What were they thinking when the canceled this? It's truly one of my favorite movies ever, and I'm not a geek, That's why I'm posting a review on IMDb. Because I'm not a geek damn it!
