In his first documentary, pop music superfan Edgar Wright chronicles the career of the most influential pop group most folks have never heard of; spending 140 min taking us through all 25 Sparks albums but his whimsical yet disciplined approach, and the playful participation of the band, mostly keep things interesting even for viewers who have never heard a single Sparks song.
