Synopsis: Director Amos Poe followed renegade Texas singer/songwriter Steve Earle on his late 2002 tour of the U.S. and Canada, recording footage at two shows--one in Toronto and one in Bloomington, Indiana.... [More]
Earle's song introductions, like those of his mentors Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, are as meaty, pointed, and touching as the tunes themselves, and his spoken words -- full of humor and humanity -- are the heart of the film.

Even for a big fan like me, parts of this documentary (especially musical performances) just go on too long.
In Just an American Boy, Steve Earle proves that he just may be the most important American troubadour of his generation

While the film's coziness toward its subject is ultimately frustrating, it does provide a welcome portrait of one of the music industry's genuine and rare iconoclasts.
Top CriticDid it make me want to run out and buy his albums? Well, maybe not, but it did make me like the man and respect the activist -- and the artist. Three out of four ain’t bad
A mediocre music documentary.
A crude but stirring video documentary.

Dull and ugly.
Earle -- and his fans -- deserve better.

Top CriticThere's a tantalizing excerpt from Earle's performance of 'John Walker' on Fox News, but otherwise we mostly see him working his broad catalog for adoring crowds.
Decidedly low-tech and not always particularly coherent or cohesive.
