Favorable review on the Ebert web site, though I'm honestly perplexed what it has to offer to those who can name a Devo song that isn't "Whip It" or at least two of their well-known cover songs. Is this still worth 90 minutes of my time if I can leave it on in the background and know exactly how the story goes? (I haven't seen the Jeff Buckley documentary yet - that one looks WAY more promising.)

I don't get the impression there's anything new or revelatory to hardcore Devo fans. It's probably like most documentaries of rock bands where it's packaging their history for the masses in a tidy, easy-to-digest few hours with every nook and cranny approved by the band. As a primer, I'm sure it's invaluable, and the archival footage is likely unbeatable for the usual reasons (access, the money to license and restore, etc.) but if you're extremely familiar with the band, I don't think you're going to learn anything new.

Seems similar to the Go-Go's recent documentary...a promotional tool to aid their efforts to get into the RRHOF.

Warner Music Group and BMG's logos are the film's first two images.
