Come On, Get Happy: Die Partridge Familie

So funny how fake Danny's freckles look and how they get lighter and darker depending on the scene. Looks like the makeup person put them on with magic marker.

Can't recall too many movies along the lines of "true story behind the xxxx group". Val Kilmer played Morrison in "The Doors", and there was the supposed true story of the Beach Boys. That was MUCH better than this. And I can't recall any more.

Having said that, I'm wondering if maybe there wasn't much to tell? I mean Danny Bonaduce WAS just a kid during the four years of the Partridge Family, maybe he simply aired his childhood memories, and they were... well... childish?

I would have liked to have seen more of what happened to the family AFTER the show was canned. I believe that it was quite sordid, maybe that would have added some interest to the story?

I knew that this movie was going to be biased towards Danny Bonaduce, since he worked on it somehow. What I didn't know is how much of the story they DIDN'T tell. The only really good performances came from Kathy Wagner (Susan Dey) and Rodney Scott (David Cassidy). The kid who played Danny was too fake for the part. Overall, this movie was a sappy biased biopic.

An excellent depiction of the actors who played the roles in '70s sitcom "The Partridge Family." It mostly focused on Danny Bonaduce and his family, but also David Cassidy and how he as a young person dealt with fame. I would strongly recommend you watch it if you get the chance.

I don't know a lot about the partridge family, I've only seen maybe two episodes from beginning to end, but did this stuff behind the scenes really happen. Such as, when David just kidnaps Danny and drives away in the bus, the scene when they were in the bunny costumes, how they took care of Danny for different weekends or how they would refer to each as Keith or Laurie, Just to name a few. But the acting was pretty bad and i didn't like how the jumped around a lot. The only thing I liked about the movie was the Brady Bunch scene. I would like to see what happened to the actors after the show. I am looking forward to the "new" family on VH1. But I wouldn't see it again though. It was pretty bad.
