Wissenswertes
The film's working title was Speakerboxxx, after half of Outkast's 2003 double album "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below", corresponding to solo albums from either half of the duo (Speakerboxxx for Big Boi, The Love Below for André 3000), though there are still songs featuring both on the album such as "Ghettomusick" and "Roses".

Ultimately, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below features in the film's soundtrack as much as the later Idlewild companion album does (six songs each).

Patzer
Rooster's first big song starts with the camera on Percival playing the piano. A few seconds later, Rooster dances around the stage and no one is at the piano.

Zitate
Flask: Well, you know how that old saying goes, 'What goes around, comes around'!
Rooster: What do you know? You just a stupid-ass flask anyway.
Flask: Stupid? You're the one talking to a flask.
Rooster: I gotta stop drinkin' this shit.

A 2 Hour Music Video

I saw the movie last night.

It opens beautifully. Young rooster is especially engaging and we get a sense of Percival's young life. Once we move into adulthood, the music video techniques and songs unfavorable to the story dominate. A lot of the story is there, but either because of editing or the choice of camera over story points makes the story less engaging then it could've been. It is clear that most of the actors can act, but it seems that their performances were underserved. In the end it feels like a series of music videos. Unfortunately, it is devoid of the emotion that I imagine was intended. Too, too bad...because it had such great potential.
