This promising doc fails to capture the Cannon spirit
Hartley's film is consistently entertaining, if somewhat one-note.

"Electric Boogaloo" doesn't tell its story from A to Z, but rather in a digressive, choral fashion that privileges outrageous personal anecdotes over dry historical chronologies.
Wild though the film often is, a truly revelatory history of the studio and its legacy remains untold.
It is, as per usual for Hartley, a giddy, lightning-paced celebration of cheerfully terrible movies.
Directed with tremendous energy for much of its first half, as Cannon starts to wear out is welcome, so does this documentary.
