Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at people who'll be humming afterwards and people who need a good giggle. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Roger & Me or Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me.
The mood
Light and funny, eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

When he started as a comedy writer for the Late Show with David Letterman, Steve Young had few interests and not many friends outside of his day job. But while gathering material for a segment on the show, Steve stumbled onto a few vintage record albums that would change his life forever.
