Saw the trailer. I don’t know how to feel. The actual road trip/interview took place in ’96.
I know Dave’s family isn’t happy about the movie. Dave had a weird relationship with his fame and success. He downplayed it at times, then admitted privately that of course he loved it, and he hated that he loved it.
