Chris Smith (American Movie, Frye, Wham!) delivers an affable and informative portrait of the iconic satirical, surrealist new wave rock band from Akron, Ohio. One might think a Devo doc would need to be less traditionally made than this one, but it's precisely the "normalness" of these guys and their story that makes it so interesting.
