I thought this was an excellent little piece, and this is some of the most honest portrayal of Kurt Cobain you'll ever hear on audio tapes of actual interviews conducted a year before his death. This is not your average documentary and you will not see any clips of Nirvana or really even any pictures or footage of Kurt at all except for a grand total of maybe 2 minutes of short footage of some photographs taken from a few live performances and a few photo shoots. Besides that it is nothing but locations relevant to his life in Washington, mainly Aberdeen, Olympia and Seattle, the main places he's lived in in the 3 main periods of his life.

I found this utterly fascinating and personally I loved the footage of city streets, random everyday people from those cities that Kurt spent his life in, gorgeous views of vistas, cityscapes and other such eye candy to free your mind and let Kurt do all the talking. It never once gets boring despite a great deal of the footage being nothing interesting at all, some parts showing a part of Washington state that is dull, lifeless and depressing, but ultimately it all shows insight into why Kurt became the person he became and gives you images to go with the subjects Kurt is speaking of. I really cannot agree with the negative reviews of this film and I loved it. I am a huge Nirvana fan and I find Kurt Cobain utterly fascinating granted, but I am not a biased fan at all. This is a very very honest portrayal of Kurt Cobain. You might not even like him much when the movie is over. He can be quite depressing and a tragic figure to listen to, but one thing is for sure, he always had something interesting to say and never sugarcoated anything and always spoke from the heart. This is a true look at the real Kurt Cobain in his own words and for that, I commend it highly. My only complaint is that I wish it could have been a bit longer and I wish that there could have been a more complete in-depth analysis of his life as a lot of things were skipped over.

Count me in to the group of people who say this is enjoyable and doesn't deserve the low rating. I'd much certainly watch this movie over a lot of the blockbusters of the past year or so since this came out. Eddie works well with that robotic, monotone type of personality, and there's plenty of good laughs despite the fact that this could be considered a family movie. I also agree Miss Union was looking quite hot in this movie, and Elizabeth Banks was very cute too. Sentimental, trite and cliché at times, like the scenes with the stereotypical bully, and a plot that has been done before, but they have made enough unique touches to hold my attention and make me laugh. It is definitely one of the better recent Eddie Murphy films.

This is the episode that got me hooked into this show and made me realize its excellence. I saw the premiere pilot episode back when it first aired in early 1999, but this is the one that made me watch regularly. Steve Buscemi is an excellent director and his directorial style is definitely what this series needed. There's a bittersweet quirkiness to this episode that makes you laugh and yet it sucks you into the drama that these characters are experiencing. Paulie and Christopher are stuck in the woods with a crazy Russian on the loose who should have been dead. Tony begins to see the type of person Gloria really is. Meadow also realizes what a mistake she's made in having a relationship with Jackie Jr. This is absolutely one of the best episodes ever done in the series, and I believe that this could have made a great movie in itself, if it were extended by another 45 minutes or so. I only wish that they could have filmed the scenes where Chrissy and Paulie were stuck in the woods in the REAL Pine Barrens of southern Jersey, because it doesn't seem as authentic with the mountainous terrain which doesn't exist at all in that part of the state. Definitely a classic.
