    The best reason to watch, however, is the music and the group’s on-stage performance. Whether or not you were a boy band fan in the 1980s, this is top-quality stuff.

    The New Edition Story is an exceptionally well-made, fast-paced, warts-and-all biopic.

    All of the cast (Keith Powers as Ronnie DeVoe, Algee Smith as Ralph Tresvant, Luke James as Johnny Gill and Woody McClain as Bobby Brown) attacks their roles with glee and swagger, especially the kids who play the younger versions of the band.
