"mildly entertaining musical footnote"

Took the movie to Baltimore this weekend with Brianna and the Pattan Bros. for the Maryland Film Fest. Got a review from the local Village Voice equivalent:

“Adolph’s Beautiful America,” directed by Geoff Gruetzmacher, is the story of Western swing singer Adolph Hofner, the first man to have a hit with “Cotton-Eyed Joe,” who responded to fame by deciding to sing in his native Czech. Built mostly on the traditional documentary mix of archival stills and interviews, with staid POVs and setups, it’s a mildly entertaining story of a musical footnote.


What's entertaining is that is the nicest thing he has to say about any film in our block.
