The setlist of over a dozen tunes includes "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone,"and "Going to a Go-Go."

Good movie but grossly overrated
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
