review by: gemgrimp date: 2005-01-17 rating:

A truly special tribute to Buddy Holly.
I first saw this film when I was little and was very touched by it, so it seemed obvious to buy it when it came out on DVD. After having studied the life of Buddy Holly I found this film to be very true to life.
Gary Busey made an excellent Buddy Holly and is very talented with regards to music as well as acting since none of the origional scores were used in the film and Busey performed each one of Holly's songs. A friend of mine remarked that if you heard Busey singing and were not aware that it was him you would swear it were Buddy Holly.
I found the special features of this DVD very good. I enjoy listening to the auido commentary with the film's director (Steve Rash) and Gary Busey, it is interesting to be shown the human errors and mistakes which makes the film so realistic and believable.
I would highly recomend this DVD to any fans of Rock 'n' Roll and of course, the man himself, Buddy Holly. It will be a film that I will continue to watch for the rest of my life.
