New York Doll (2005)
A Very Pleasant Surprise
15 November 2005 - 5 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Go see this movie! I went on a friend's recommendation not knowing what to expect and got a very pleasant surprise.
It's a touching story that is well told. I thought they did a great job of telling Arthur's story while covering the band's history and reunion, all culminating in their London performance. The years of alcohol abuse and personal injury have certainly taken their toll. Arthur reminded me somewhat of Joe Walsh in his speech pattern. A simple man with a childlike faith. Very endearing.
Hats off to the film makers. Nice work! Stay through the credits and listen to the music. It's very touching. My wife had to compose herself before leaving the theater and I confess that I had to wipe a tear or two.
