A sleepy ride through long, woolly concert takes, as well as onerous (often repetitive) interviews with the band.

Ms. Grisman strips away everything but music and friendship, and that proves to be quite enough.

Think of this movie as a glorified home video rather than a bitingly insightful documentary. But for Garcia and Grisman, this soft-shoe approach couldn't be more appropriate.

Though Grateful Dawg isn't a great documentary, it holds plenty of enjoyment for acoustic-music fans.

In the nimble hands of Garcia and Grisman, a reggae song such as 'Sitting Here in Limbo' or a blues number such as 'The Thrill is Gone' are tickled to new life.

If you hadn't guessed already, this is a movie about the deep-reaching allure of roots music. However, the very fact that it's about the roots music performed by these two unlikely collaborators makes it something more.
