REVIEWS

Review by raa (posted on 25-Mar-2005)

This is an excellent movie about one man's struggle to make a success of his life by making a success of the lives of others... namely young pop star wannabees.

The defining moment in this movie is when Ray's character learns that he had all that he needed within him all along... he didn't need to build his career on the talent of others.

I saw this movie about 15+ years ago and remember many of the scenes as if I just watched it yesterday. Ray Sharkey's performance was THAT memorable!
