amorimalice-10679 The film opens by showing Timberlake arriving at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where he'll be performing later that night. We briefly see Timberlake enter his dressing room and crack a joke, but then Demme turns his focus to the Tennessee Kids. We're introduced to the dancers, the backup singers, the drummer, the guitarists, the trumpeter, etc. And then the concert begins, and for the next 80 minutes or so we simply watch a Justin Timberlake concert.congrats JT

amorimalice-09490 Here's what sets apart a director like Jonathan Demme from the average journeyman or hired-gun, and certainly one must note that one could have made a concert/documentary movie about Justin Timberlake performing with the Tennessee Kids in Las Vegas in entertaining fashion and style simply by presenting the group as is. The energy is difficult not to capture from Timberlake who, however you feel about his songs, is a massively talented singer and who makes sure to give these people who likely paid several dozen arms and legs and other limbs to make it to see his live (final on this tour) performance with this great back- up band. But what Demme adds to the equation is genuine human interest and a sense of cutting and framing that is unparalleled; seriously, if Scorsese had directed this it wouldn't have been as interesting as what Demme does. But Demme's cinema, as it was in all of his concert movies, syncs up beautifully with what this particular act is trying to do, which is to be a bouncy, sometimes sexy and especially classy pop show ("Suit and Tie" is one of those that is infectiously cool too). But the point I'm making is that if you're already a fan of Timberlake's, then this is simply a sweet combination of a lot of his hits and some covers ("Human Nature" and "That girl is Poison" are two well done ones), and if you are on the fence or even have barely a casual interest, this filmmaker gets you the f*** into it. That's something.

amariakrirl a great music film this is the words which i can say about Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids great work by Jonathan demme and great performance bt Justin Timberlake is this movie a history is counted they show the people the history not just the concert i love how jonathan direct this and i love the edition i love how justin timberlake is humble and lovely funny smart with everybody i'm more in love with him Along with the main attraction, they put on a helluva show, and Demme makes sure as a director to get an appropriate tone depending on what song is up - so when it's just Timberlake with his guitar, he stays on him, where-as if there's a number involving EVERYONE (including the audience, and unlike Stop Making Sense he does involve them since, frankly, Timberlake is the kind of performer that asks the audience to come in on songs with him, not obnoxiously so but enough to keep things energized), he has a crane shot showing everyone in the arena, and then goes in close and captures the camaraderie of the musicians.
