I was very curious about this from the start : a *Spike Jonze* *documentary* about the *Beastie Boys*, what could go wrong ? Well let's get straight to the point : the format chosen, a filmed live stage show, just does not work for them. After one hour and half of it I dropped the TV remote unable to cope anymore with this Beastie Boys x Annual Corporate Meeting show x TED crossover.
So my first advice would be to skip this so called documentary and go for the excellent book they released last year. And my second one would be for those who enjoyed the film but do not know the book : read it !
