The documentary is so relentlessly upbeat and told with such cheerleading verve, the style and tone detract from the undeniably interesting material.

I'm sure the [LEGO] board of directors loved this.

The film exhibits an oddly promotional tone that might rub audiences wrong if it were hyping any another product.
