Winced when I read it wasn't Meat portraying the role but as the story unfolded Brown really was convincing in the role. I read people winging about finicky things being wrong. Didn't really see them myself. Been a big fan for over sixteen years since a chance concert in 1990, which I might add, was the best live gig I've ever seen. Read a lot about his life and events of his past and I think this movie with a cracking cast (watch out for the cameo in the supermarket, Amanda Aday, Meat's real daughter), told a nice, easy to watch story. There are some genuinely touching moments in it too. As others have said, this is right up there with 'What's Love Got To Do With It'. Story never dragged like it could very easily have. Fans would do well to give this a look.
