An intimate celebration of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s enduring friendship, from childhood and through their years together as one of the UK’s biggest bands. 　　Michael and Ridgeley met at school in Bushy, near the town of Watford. They first formed the ska band The Executive before going on to release their first single as Wham!, Wham Rap! in June 1982. Success wasn’t immediate, but when it finally came, the pair crested a wave of success that continued until their farewell concert, The Final, at Wembley Stadium in June 1986. Chris Smith’s hugely entertaining film offers full and unprecedented access to the band’s archive, including unseen footage and interviews with the duo. The result is a nuanced portrait of an enduring friendship and a joyous musical travelogue.

這是對喬治·邁克爾和安德魯·裏奇利從童年到作為英國最大樂團之一在一起多年的持久友誼的親密慶祝。邁克爾和裏奇利是在沃特福德鎮附近布希的一所學校認識的。 他們首先組建了斯卡樂團the Executive，然後發行了他們的第一首單曲《Wham！》！， 砰的一聲！ 1982年6月。 成功並不是立竿見影的，但當它最終到來時，這對搭檔掀起了一波成功的浪潮，一直持續到1986年6月在溫布利體育場舉行的告別音樂會《决賽》。 克裏斯·史密斯的這部極具娛樂性的電影提供了對樂團檔案的全面和前所未有的訪問，包括未公開的片段和對二人組的採訪。 其結果是細緻入微地描繪了一段持久的友誼和一段歡樂的音樂遊記。
