VHS Movie Reviews of Mr Rock N Roll: The Alan Freed Story
Movie Review: Charicatures
Summary: 2 Stars
All the people here are portrayed like characters. Jackie Wilson makes me think of Little Richard (Leon also played LR in an earlier movie), Little Richard is too gay while singing about girls (he was bi) and they just messed up some facts. The crowd is wilder than at a Metallica concert or so are the acts.
Nelson tries but can't him down correctly, the actor in American Hot Wax did a better job. Still a + for the effort.
Read the book it was based on called Big Beat Heat, that's a lot better.
Movie Review: This was the worse tape I have ever seen, it was so fake.
Summary: 1 Stars
They royaly messed up on the way it happen with Alan Freed, they did not show how he had found a lot of the Doo Wop groups singing on corners and brought them in, it left out a lot of what Alan Freed was and what Alan Freed stood for for all Doo Wop groups, plus the actor Judd Nelson did not look anything like Alan Freed. I would not recommend this video to anyone. Get the real version that was out not the remake.Movie Review: LIVE ON ROCK AND ROLL!
Summary: 4 Stars
Here's how Rock and Roll started, the movie is an incredible documentary on the music that turn the world around! and how began their magic step on radio airwaves, all the acting skills of the performers are great specially PAULA ABDUL who surprisely is a great actress and should have done more singing, dancing on the movie, she's so such a sweetheart!, Judd Nelson is a great actor an portrayed Alan Freed with great confidence and reality. Leon is so close to be Jackie Wilson himself. Fair for a great TV Movie, that stands out for the music.Movie Review: Alan Freed's Story
Summary: 3 Stars
Judd Nelson is quite convincing in his portrayal of Alan Freed, Mr. Rock 'N' Roll. I teach radio and television broadcasting at Wheeling Park High School in Wheeling, WV. My students and I were surprised with the way blacks were treated during that time period. Nelson tells it like it was. He has a mission and shows how Freed broke down the walls to help make rock and roll live forever in our world. Some of the language was a bit harsh, for teenagers. However, adults would also enjoy the movie. You'll be concerned with what the past showed, yet will have fun watching this movie when you find yourself singing along with the favorite songs of the day! I enjoy watching it time and again!Movie Review: Alan Freed's Story
