You'll enjoy it, it's a great look at modern Stevie... how she lives & how she works. It's completely different from the Destiny Rules documentary. Stevie's just beamingly happy & a total goofball the entire time. For me, it was nice to see after all the conflict, stress, egos, & discontent that the Destiny Rules documentary exhibited. It really hit home for me why Stevie doesn't want to go back to record with the Mac. I finally get it. It was just really heartwarming for me to see that after all the travails she's been through, that Stevie is having the time of her life in her golden years.

Just prepare yourself for some niggly issues, though. My main complaint is the editing/producing was done by someone with serious ADD... all these different wacky filters on the cameras, all these quick shots back to back to back to back. It's very exhausting visually & mentally. The one way Destiny Rules is better than this documentary is the fact it told more of a chronological story & had a climax/resolution. The In Your Dreams documentary is kinda one big jumbled ADD rambling which skips from one subject to the next. As a hardcore Stevie fan though, you'll enjoy it nonetheless.
