Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was such a great film the acting was wonderful

love the genre, and the actors in the movie are some of my most liked. adrien brody and steven wright , I try to watch every movie their in. this was a brilliant look onto the real world of the 40's and 50's music industry as a whole and in particular , the motor city. this is a must see movie for everyone that loves music.

I really enjoyed this DVD. Very informative. I really enjoyed it. Very historical. Love Beyonce'.

I've been wanting this DVD dim for some time and was pleasantly surprised to see that Best Buy had it in stock. I'm a huge fan of this movie and the soundtrack is awesome.

I love the movie and it is old school and new school

The movie was great great quality I will order again and again

I thought Beyonce played her role well. She may not be the Etta James, but I love her, she did a great job.

Great movie and how it talks about what happened in the music industry back then and what the artist went though.

LOVED this movie!!! Finally, a new movie depicting the real Blues origins of rock 'n roll from the early '40's and '50's and the countless english and american guitarists and bands that it immediately inspired to copy it (i.e. Clapton, Led Zep, , Rolling Stones, & Elvis to name a few). Well acted and paced, this is a great, fun, eye-opening history education on black music in a very segregated America...before it was co-opted by more 'acceptable-looking' musicians of the time who all went on to make HUGE international names for themselves ripping off these originators (Literally. I didn't know that 'Surfin' USA' by the Beach Boys was stolen note-for-note from Chuck Berry's "Sweet 16" before this film...and that he later sued them, and won :) Jeffrey Wright is awesome as Muddy Waters...as well as Mos Def as Chuck Berry. Along with all the other amazing actors such as Adrian Brody, Cedric, and Beyonce, I'd definitely say that this movie is a 'must-see'! I'l be picking up a copy myself this week!

Although this movie did not recoup the production costs, it received good reviews. The soundtrack and score alone is worth the price of the movie. In addition to being based on truth, great performances by Adrien Brody and Beyonce Knowles make this a compelling story. I recommend this to anyone who loved the R&B of the 50's and 60's.

I truly enjoyed this movir I've waited to see for awhile and finally have and now I can't stop watching it.

I had the movie taped, but went ahead and bought the DVD. One of the few movies you can watch many times.

I bought 2 of the same movies. One for my daugther and the other for me. Just couldn't share it.
