I watched this as an after thought and ended up really enjoying this. I wasn't over joyed with some of the production. Some or most of the music being played especially in the beginning and as back ground for the interviews was terrible. Very annoying!!! However that comparison of the 1989 and current interview with Lazar and very interesting and though provoking. The fact that evidences has come to light that vindicates some of his statements is very interesting. I think this is a very good watch. Give it a go. Good stuff.

This movie is boar. Cheaply made and based on personal opinion. Don't wast your time.

I am going to disagree with a lot of review of this movie. I waiting for it to come out on Blue Ray before watching it because of the mediocre responses critics had. I thought the film was beautifully made, well acted and alot of fun to watch. Branagh did some quirky and interesting things with Poriot but after I wrapped my head around that I really enjoyed the film. Highly recommend.

I saw this over the weekend and really liked it. I learned some things about Chicago and it's journey that I never knew before. I thought I already knew a lot but there was some good stuff here. My only concern is that this is produced by the band and directed by Lou Pardini's family member so it is not going to be completely objective. At the end of the day Chicago is a great band with a lot of big egos. The remaining members seem to down play Cetera's ability as a song writer and his contributions. Cetera is an excellent song writer and had one of the best voices in the business. Clearly Foster took them in a different direction but it seemed like it was a good decision at the time. The really needed a change up in my opinion. I am disappointed Cetera couldn't check his ego at the door and perform at the Hall of Fame. That would have been amazing. I also thought Bill Champlin was overlooked in the movie. I know he didn't want to participate but the founders acted like he didn't have much to offer. Interesting that since this documentary was made that Jason Scheff was also fired. So other than Lamm, Pankow, Loughnane, and Parazaider. Chicago will always be my favorite group but it is too bad that all of the ego's ended up crushing the stage.

Very funny comedy about growing up in the 80s. Silly at times but there is always a laugh. John Cusack is a hypocrite to complain about this movie possibly hurting is career. He has been a few questionable choices during his career while this gem enjoys a legacy and following of its own. Highly recommend if anybody has not seen it. Fun to watch during the Holidays with the Christmas and New Years references.
