Ali & Cavett: The Tale of the Tapes

While The Tale of the Tapes doesn't teach us much, it underlines Ali's gift for entertaining.

Director Robert S. Bader relies too heavily on interviews with biographers and casual observers (Juan Williams, Al Sharpton) to carry the narrative, but there's interesting show footage.

[A] brisk yet substantial documentary ...

Quite enjoyable, but not essential for those who know Ali's story.

The film is too judgmental of Ali but nevertheless it is still very interesting

It is almost impossible to make a bad documentary about legendary heavyweight boxing champ and standout human being Muhammad Ali.

Bader's film is commendable in its thoroughness, but its failure to capitalize on Cavett's experience screams "missed opportunity."

While Ali & Cavett: The Tale of the Tapes has many fun moments, there's some sadness in knowing that The Greatest, Muhammad Ali, is no longer living.

Ali & Cavett will more than likely be forgotten by many who view it, as Bader and Cavett do very little to try and brand what's already an incredible human interest story on the brains of audience members.
