Alicia I love this movie so much

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

licraig You don't have to be a Fishbone fan to appreciate this documentary, you just have to love music and people and magic and life. The story of these beautiful, brilliant, clever and funny boys finding each other and going on to create such incredible, groundbreaking and enduring music is wonderful and heart-warming. It gives you faith. The way this film shows the joys and strains of friendships and personalities as they grow and change within a long-running band is just brilliant. On top of that you feel the artistic struggles of integrity versus compromise, and the cruel industry that so often packages for the masses at the expense of creative genius. We've never seen a better music documentary. You come away loving the people and caring about them really deeply. And you hear their music and have to buy the albums. Brilliant! This is a sensitive, poignant, highly charged, yet incredibly touching snapshot of a really brilliant and beautiful bunch of guys. The film is funny, moving, painful, entertaining…. It's hard for a non-filmmaker to explain why this film works so well: It's just so honest and so 'real'. It's cleverly crafted, with brilliant scene-setting cartoons, and as the story unfolds you don't feel the joins as the ages pass or the people come and go; there's nothing clunky, staged or forced, you just get caught up in the love, the journey, the genuineness of the people, and the fun and passion of the music.

Steven Tocci Fishboooonneee! Great documentary featuring the most underrated band in the world. For lovers of punk/ska/reggae/funk/metal/pop music. Shows you exactly how hard it is to be a success in the (at times pathetic) music industry. When you get Flea, Gwen Stefani, Tim Robbins, George Clinton, Mike Watt and many others talking you up, you know you are doing something right. Unfortunately the suits at the top of the dung pile that are record companies could not recognize the brilliance of Fishbone. Too often thrown in the 'too hard to categorize basket. Too far ahead of their time, hopefully people will finally catch up and see how good Fishbone are and give them the respect they deserve. Watch it now!!!!

Raphaela J Francis I was very pleased on how raw and real this documentary was. I was surprised at how much detail the director was able to get about this remarkable band in under 2 hours. I appreciate the director including the stories of all the original band members and focusing on the relationships and difficulties they have all faced and continue to face while being able to focus on the originality of their music. It was funny, informative, and gives these talented men the recognition they deserve. This movie was well overdue and fans will love it. It brought back so many nostalgic memories about how Fishbone helped shaped my teenage years by opening my eyes to new and refreshing rock, ska, reggae mix of music. No one does it like Fishbone, and no one ever will.

ajohnkim Watching Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone at 14 Pews in Houston, you get the feeling you're in the right place to watch this particular movie. The church-converted movie theater is a beautiful venue with warm, red planks of wood lining the walls and ceiling as well as artwork displaying oil spills in vibrant contrasting colors. Five minutes prior to screen time, though, the venue is less than quarter-full and on the same day the media were falling over themselves singing the praises of the soon-to-be-open Sundance Theater downtown, you also get the feeling that more people really ought be here to appreciate a fine independent film and local art house. You can't help feel the same about Fishbone.The film is essentially a tribute to unfulfilled promises, or as Angelo Moore characterizes in the film, "famous but not rich." On some level, this film could have been about any brilliant, genre-challenged African- American band pre-2K, like Living Colour or Bad Brains. It just happened to be about the craziest. Central to the film is the relationship between Moore and Norwood Fisher, with Fisher at times debating between Moore's hyper-creativity and sometimes overbearing disruptive behavior, and Moore talking about every damn single thing he can. While the film mostly portrays the two separately in interviews, it's when the two are together fighting over the future direction of the band that you get a true sense of how much admiration and enmity exist between the two. It's a scene virtually every band or family plays out, but the shared history and stature of the two make the familiar argument more significant. It's like the first time you realize your father is human after all. However, the arc of the movie hinges on Kendall Jones. The events surrounding his tenure in and out of the band as well as the band's efforts to reach out to their friend bring an unexpected emotional pull from a seemingly care-free, everyone-else-be-damned band. It's here where I have my only criticism of the film in that Jones's account of events feels unfinished and unresolved. Still, as the film closes with the title song of the film, you get an understanding of what makes this band really great. It is and always has been in the performance. Sitting in the pews of the once-church with the gospel-inspired coda of the song bouncing against the walls, I could imagine a history of what this former place of worship might have been and what it could be with just a little promotion and recognition. In seeing the band on screen performing one of its best known, you could say the same for this collection of individuals both blessed and cursed by their unwillingness to do anything less than what they want for themselves and their art. And in leaving that night under a slight rainfall, I found myself rooting and hoping that a little sunshine would fall both on Fishbone and the neighborhood movie house.
