Anything we at MooPig Movie Reviews have to say about this flick is superfluous.

Just watch it; if you are breathing, have a soul, and are an American, just watch it. Damn it!
See what it means to you: then tell us what is happening.
For instance:
Richard "Pistol" Allen - Noted Detroit bassist Ralphe Armstrong once related how he was playing a gig at a local jazz club when Pistol Allen (wearing only pajamas, a robe, and slippers) busted through the doors of the establishment, threw the drummer off his set, and counted off "Cherokee" at a breakneck tempo: "Man, we were all huffin' and puffin' trying to keep up with him for about ten choruses of the tune and then he just cuts the band, jumps off the stage and runs home," recalled Ralphe. "This fool was probably just sittin' in front of his TV and said to himself, 'I feel like playing,.' So he drives halfway across town, gets it out of his system, and then runs back to the TV. You see, this cat just burns with music.
