As a portrayal of hardworking group of musicians working for a church and depiction of their lives, this one is solid. I never knew when creating music you first set the tune and then add lyrics to it. The overall Christian faith - the faith in ones-self as working for god really exudes through the whole reel. It is like one of the senior pastors shown said their whole gig is based upon giving its followers a space of liveliness and they are doing it beautifully as skilled musicians or in the biblical words as some said to make feel the holy spirit that moves the earth, to open up people with sounds and emotions, it was also nice to see they have the right words when they need them.

Russell Peters: Almost Famous
(2016 TV Special)
Almost Funny
11 October 2016
Working with the race topic wasn't the issue. The issue was his execution of the material and half a**ed stories with attention deficient follow-ups. Two spotlight materials were about a castle bed and differences in sleep..., other ones were not so engaging and strongly structured. He used to convince people even if what he says is laced with absurdity, this time around that isn't reflected and also what happened to his care-free observations and insights from cultural involvement (...maybe the peter joke). Range of topics is also an issue, it is time to evolve but this isn't attempted maybe its the love for laziness or LA might have changed him.
