You need to see this. Period. If you enjoy Motown music, or are a musician, you definitely need to see this movie.
The Funk Brothers, the most accomplished musicians in history, finally get their due in this. About time too.
This group of 13 musicians played on more number-one records than the Beatles, Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys COMBINED! The least you can do is give them 2 hours of your time.
It moves between interviews with the remaining living Funk Brothers, re-enactments of stories they have, and a fantastic concert with the remaining Funk Brothers performing their biggest hits with several modern singers... Chaka Khan, Ben Harper, and (my personal favorite) Joan Osbourne.
Allow me to stress my original point. You need to see this.
