You will laugh, mostly at the way they talk s--- to each other. They played the white manager Jerry Heller enjoying the music for laughs, too, but that wasn't as funny as Eazy trying to rap for the first time and taking s--- for it

Reposted from the thread in the movies section
Saw it last night, thought it was pretty great.
Not a movie critic, can't comment on the art direction etc. but I was totally immersed, felt like the actors did a great job of portraying well known figures, and it gave a very interesting and personal context to the facts we already know about the group's history.
It isn't totally accurate, it completely skips over Wrecking Cru and makes it seem like Dre was just a DJ who started the group with these guys with no other experience besides spinning in some clubs. It also paints a really rosy picture of how Dre and Cube left things with Eazy, which really can't be proven either way.
Overall, very enjoyable film. Pretty funny to see the alleged origin of Bye, Felicia!
I'll leave it to others to break down the technical aspects of filmmaking and writing, but if you like the music and/or know the members you will definitely be entertained.
Ending is corny as f---, though

Spoiler

ends with Dre leaving Death Row face to face with Suge. Suge is pissed off, is going to f--- Dre financially on his contract, and says something like "What are you going to call this bs company, anyways?"
Really close zoom in on Dre's face and he super dramatically says "Aftermath!" Cut to credits over NWA footage
