I grew up a Partridge Family fan, but idolized John denver much more than Cassidy. However, i became even more of a fan of Davids after reading his first autobiography about 1994. I became even part of his fan club even as about a 30 year old at the time. (True, not an exciting life) however it took my mind off my impending death of my husband. The nostalgic times were fun for me.
As far as this movie, the David Cassidy movie which came out a few years later i think on NBC, i enjoyed much more especially since i believe they actually used the original songs by Cassidy in that and in this they didnt. The NBC rendition was much more realistic i felt and was very emotional portrayal of David hearing about his dads death in a fire over the radio.
In this movie told by Bonaduce that fact in itself gave a certain shade over the whole thing. In other wordsperhaps can be taken more from a comedic view and/or a question of realism could be asked right from the start being told with his memories. However from interviews with him and other real cast members, the incidents portrayed did happen. A real tragedy the way he was treated by his dad.
I gave the movie 5 stars mainly, because i continue to be a fan even if its cheesey. I thought the actors did a fair job. The guy playing cassidyquite a cutie.
BTW..I LOST TOUCH WITH MY PEN PAL ABOUT 1995 FROM THE DAVID CASSIDY FAN CLUB, SO IF YOU JHAPPEN TO READ THIS ... MAYBE DO A REVIEW OF THIS FILM AND PUT IN AS ALAST WORD ... TRIGGER.
