I had no idea what to expect when I walked into the theater to see this film. It's received some enthusiastically positive reviews and I am excited for those viewers who had such a strong and passionate reaction to this film, I really am. Unfortunately, I do not share that same level of enthusiasm. I did appreciate the film though and found it interesting. Lesley Gore was a revelation to me, I had a certain impression of her based on only her recordings but having seen here (live-ish) I realized what a strong and impressive voice she really had and also an ease about here that made her a joy to watch. I read one reviewer note that Mick Jagger and the Stones had to go one after James Brown's completely over-the-top performance and I just want to say that I enjoyed Mick and the Stones performance more than Brown's. Another thing I found fascinating were the background dancers throughout the show, they were crazy intense and fun to see. For those of you who have a genuine interest in the subject matter go ahead and see this film. For everyone else though I would say perhaps not.
