Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone has not been reviewed by Broad National Press
Andy Webster, New York Times: VERY GOOD "...a fascinating account.... the group's influence -- attested to by members of No Doubt, the Peppers and Jane's Addiction, among many others -- is indisputable." (Read the full review...) 230 words, 10/07/11 Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "There's as much social history of L.A.'s racial divide as there is appreciation for the band's big, genre-crossing sound. It all comes together for a rollicking chronicle of verve and nerve." (Read the full review...) 120 words, 10/07/11 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: VERY GOOD "...it is the more recent footage of Fishbone still making the most of it -- despite years of personality conflicts, personnel changes and commercial disappointments -- that has an emotional appeal." (Read the full review...) 235 words, 10/21/11 Ernest Hardy, Village Voice/LA Weekly: VERY GOOD "Packed with fantastic performance footage... solidly makes the case that, throughout the '80s and early '90s, Fishbone was one of rock's best live acts ever..." (Read the full review...) 256 words, 10/05/11
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: EXCELLENT (cg) "...isn't the happiest movie about a band you'll ever see, but it is one of the more entertaining, and thanks to directors Lev Anderson and Christ Metzler, one of the most original." (Read the full review...) 667 words, 11/18/11 Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: VERY GOOD (cg) "...a hearty, thoughtful, smartly assembled, vaguely complete documentary about a rock band that, even by the standards of out-there musical acts, seemed out there both in the mid-1980s and even now." (Read the full review...) 721 words, 01/11/12 Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: VERY GOOD (cg) "...a movie about what it's like to almost make it in the music business, but not really, not quite. It's about coming close and watching it slip away.... could be the story of any artist, still pursuing an elusive dream, year in and year out." (Read the full review...) 389 words, 01/06/12 Stan Hall, Portland Oregonian: EXCELLENT (cg) "Filled with personal vignettes and famous-people testimonials, the film has a few too many narrative digressions, but it's a moving portrait of all-too-human personalities and the dogged optimism that keeps them going." (Read the full review...) 137 words, 01/06/11 Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: VERY GOOD (cg) "...along with infectious old concert footage and an inevitable shortage of material about the creative process, features extensive recent interviews with broke alcoholic Angelo Moore, soured survivor Norwood Fischer and the respective mamas who cleaned the mess. But like a Fishbone show or an LA weather forecast, the dark curtain rises..." (Read the full review...) 315 words, 08/26/11 Chris Foran, Miami Herald: VERY GOOD (cg) "Onstage, Fishbone is manic and magnetic, powered by the peripatetic energy of punk but given heart by a horn section straight out of James Brown. The fun and energy of those performances show the promise that was lost - and the pleasure that's still in the music." (Read the full review...) 357 words, 02/10/12
Ernest Hardy, Village Voice/LA Weekly: VERY GOOD "Packed with fantastic performance footage... solidly makes the case that, throughout the '80s and early '90s, Fishbone was one of rock's best live acts ever..." (Read the full review...) 256 words, 10/05/11 Scott Fayner, Boston Phoenix: VERY GOOD (cg) "...details Fishbone's quarter-century journey from musically-diverse South Central middle school classmates to becoming one of the most influential Los Angeles bands of the '80s. Riddled with more tribulations than 'Spinal Tap'..." (Read the full review...) 142 words, 11/17/11 Keith Phipps, AV Club: GOOD (cg) "...as a document of a band that should have gotten a lot further than it did, 'Everyday Sunshine' is invaluable, and Moore and Fisher emerge as fascinating personalities..." (Read the full review...) 458 words, 10/06/11 Lauren Wissot, Slant: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "Even better regarded black musicians such as Branford Marsalis, who says about the band, 'The musicians get it; the other people don't,' and George Clinton, who theorizes that the members are too white for black people and too black for white people, seem in awe."

Andrew Barker, Daily Variety: EXCELLENT "...uses clever touches (including animation and oil paintings) and resists self-pity in casting the band's many misfortunes as a sort of secret triumph.... [it is] a rare beast: an inspirational, happy film about failure." (Read the full review...) 675 words, 06/24/10 Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter: VERY GOOD "...[a] fascinating portrait of the band and its complex alchemy.... the film chronicles the fortunes of a group once poised for superstardom, now whittled down to two of its original members and still making music." (Read the full review...) 516 words, 10/06/11 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: VERY GOOD "...it is the more recent footage of Fishbone still making the most of it -- despite years of personality conflicts, personnel changes and commercial disappointments -- that has an emotional appeal." (Read the full review...) 235 words, 10/21/11 Emanuel Levy, Cinema 24/7: VERY GOOD (cg) "Fishbone wound up 'famous but not rich,' a predicament that forces Angelo and Norwood into endless difficult conversations on where the band can possibly head next and how the two can possibly keep working together without driving each other insane." (Read the full review...) 905 words, 10/05/11 Andy Webster, New York Times: VERY GOOD "...a fascinating account.... the group's influence -- attested to by members of No Doubt, the Peppers and Jane's Addiction, among many others -- is indisputable."
