Insightful Documentary With Love From Amy Poehler

I was too young to appreciate I Love Lucy and the comedic genius of Lucille Ball. She was also way ahead of her time marrying Cuban born Desi Arnaz who emigrated to America. I do remember my parents telling me "do not disturb" when the show was on as they ate their Swanson TV dinners on their tray tables. This documentary is obviously a love letter to Ms. Ball and understandably so as legends such as Bette Midler, Carol Burnett have learned a lot from her. There really was nothing that was not public knowledge about the couple but still a very enjoyable watch.

Informative and moving

This was a well put together documentary on both Lucy and Desi. I've seen lots of things about Lucille Ball so I was familiar with some of what was shared in this but I didn't know much about Desi and his life in Cuba or his start in the entertainment industry. I think it was great that their children were involved in the making of this. There were some surprises about them and great home footage. Anyone who wants to learn more about the both of them and have a look at what went on behind the scenes of "I love Lucy" then this is the documentary to watch.

"'I Love Lucy' was never just a title.

This was such a great film! Amy Poehler did an amazing job! It was very heart-felt and touching and just altogether a wonderful picture. It truly enraptures the lives of Lucy & Desi together and separate. If you are a Lucy fan, this is a must-see! It was much better than "Being the Ricardos". I know they are two different kinds of films, but, man, this one blows it out of the water. I could watch thus again and again. "'I Love Lucy' was never just a title."

Amazing

Such a wonderful tribute with amazing footage and stories. I cried. Just watch!!! Amy killed it. Their story is complicated and filled with so much love and depth. I loved the book "Love, Lucy" and I feel like this did a great job of summing up the stories from Lucy's perspective as well as Desis. Ugh just so amazing!

Nostalgia and insight

Lucille Ball became one of TV's early icons after a middling film career; her show 'I Love Lucy' with her real life husband was the biggest hit of its era, but their story is much more than that. This energetic often moving and interesting documentary is well worth watching for nostalgia value as well as well as many insights into TV history and the influences felt even now.
