"Who Do You Love (2010)" provides a great look into the world of music during the 50's and 60's, showing the audience how Blues became extremely popular and how Rock and Roll was created, so if you can expect anything walking in, it's fantastic music. The cast, including Alessandro Nivola (Leonard Chess), David Oyelowo (Muddy Waters), Chi McBride (Willie Dixon), Jon Abrahams (Phil Chess), Lisa Goldstein (Sheva Chess), Megalyn Echikunwoke (Ivy Mills), and Robert Randolph (Bo Diddley), all put on phenomenal performances, all those that did use their musical vocals singing the classic songs that influenced generations as if they were their own. Jerry Zaks, who as a director has spent most of his career so far on television, has proved to handle a feature film quite well, using very good shots and angles as he had with his three episodes of "Two And A Half Men" (Episodes include "Tucked, Taped, and Gorgeous", "Aunt Myra Doesn't Pee A Lot", and "And The Plot Moistens"). Of the movies I have seen that were written by Peter Martin Wortmann and Robert Conte, this is by far their best, with catchy, funny dialogue and smart, well thought out characters and events (even though based on a true story). The movie depicts the start of a new world of music, something that went on to develop and change into a large amount of mini-genres and has shown all it's listeners a new way to express culture, feelings, actions, opinions, and the world in general. "Who Do You Love" is recommended to everyone, but is a must see for lovers of old blues and classic rock and roll as well as the older audience. 7.6/10

This is the abridged version of the founding of Chess records, with the emphasis on Leonard Chess and his first big star, Muddy Waters. I just watched this movie at a film festival, having not previously been aware of it. It is rather amateurish though some of the recreations of performances, like that of Bo Diddley in particular, and some of the music is really excellent. My two big complaints involve first, the story line, which emphasizes the life of Leonard Chess and about which there is very little to maintain a plot and second, the character of Ivy Mills, who seems to be a composite. She sings Etta James songs, for example, but her story line does not parallel the life of Etta James, so this is also annoying to me. Though this is the story of the two men who arguably provided the basis for the creation of rock and roll, there is precious little rock and roll music or history.
