Review:

When you know how to do simplicity right as they do here, it can weave a wonderful spell.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Documentaries like this have a predictable edge that make them crowd pleasers. You know where everything's going to end up, so you just let yourself have fun on the way. The trailer does a fine job conveying this concept.

Oscar Prospects:

Doubtful, though with Jamie Foxx (and his terrible narration) flogging it, there's always a possibility.

Release Date:
