I actually saw this movie last month at a screening hosted by one of the producers (I went to high school with one of her sons) at the local theater (I've been meaning to write a review for The Muppet Mindset but keep forgetting, maybe closer to the DVD release) and I've got to tell you: everyone should see this movie. I know there are naysayers who say "Why would I want to see such an Elmo-filled movie?" This is not a movie about the Elmo phenomenon at all, even if it is touched upon, this is completely Kevin Clash's movie. Elmo's popularity plays a part but it's not the main component of Kevin's story as a whole. Granted a lot from Kevin's career gets skipped over (Baby Sinclair is not mentioned at all, Clifford is only seen once) but that's because this is a documentary about a life, not a review of Kevin's resume. It could have been very easy for Constance Marks to let Kevin make this a rather self-congratulatory piece, but that is thankfully avoided. Not to give too much away, but the ending was overwhelmingly emotional for me, especially as a puppeteer (everybody who's seen it knows exactly what I'm talking about) and it didn't help that one of the people involved in that ending were actually at the screening. So needless to say, Being Elmo is a movie every puppeteer, Henson fan or just anybody who ever watched Sesame Street as a kid needs to see.
