Yes, i guess you can call it campy and/or sappy, but i really enjoy it. I have seen it multiple times through the years, and always enjoy it.
Andrew and all the others did great jobs in their portrayals of the popular Partridge Family. I have always been a big fan. I was about ten and enthusiastically could hardly wait for PF to come on. You younger crowd have to remember there were only 3 channels to tv back then, so thats why it was a real treat to tune in each week.
To have a show which was funny as well as had music, much like The Monkees, well that was specially fun.
This movie also is funny with fun music. It is well done and also has heart break. Davids trapped in an unreal isolating world of fame. His real desire is to continue on a road he started out with doing serious roles. Instead, the world sees onlythe make believe Keith. As a result, David must only perform what he is told to and loses his real identity with no help from a mentally unstable, jealous dad who he never gets to know.
I really love the part at the last where Andrew performs with the real David. It seemed to be a crowning touch that adds class.
I can easily imagine Jack Cassidy being Ted Knight, too bad he didnt take that part.
There will never be another David. Terribly sad hes no longer with us. The best part is his remarkable recovery and legacy.
