And the Beat Goes On: The Sonny and Cher Story

I am dying to know what Renee REALLY looks like under the wig and makeup that made her so convincing as CHER. Is there nobody out there who can help me? Surely a publicity shot exists somewhere, who ever heard of an actress who DIDN'T want publicity?

Whether it was the female script writer or perhaps a lawsuit threatened by the actual Cher, THANK YOU for giving Cher a voice in Sonny Bono's narrative. Fresh off reading The Beat Goes On by Bono, I entered this with less than zero expectations. But the actress who plays Cher is PHENOMENAL! Where is her Emmy?? I do not say this lightly. And this movie adds what is missing from Bono's tedious book: Cher's voice!!! Two sides to every story and Cher has hers. Somewhere in the middle of their stories lies the sad truth. Honestly, it ends up being a tragic, yet beautiful love story. Remarkable for a TV movie. Top marks across the board!

I thought Renee Faia *was* Cher. Very believable; she really nailed it. I always liked to watch Cher on the Sonny & Cher show and I felt like I was back in the 60's.

You will laugh, you will cry.

Renee IS CHER. She did an amazing job of capturing her look, her moves and her style. I was absolutely amazed.

I always expect camp when watching these biopics. There was very little of that in this movie.

It is heartbreaking their marriage didn't hold up. I think they stayed in love afterward.

This film could be about any couple who fell in love, grew apart because of life's pressures but still have a bond.

A good copy of this is on YouTube. You can also watch Cher's speech and Sonny's funeral, which basically tells the same story as this film.

This is definitely worth a watch. Based on Sonny's book. I think he was pretty honest.

It would sure be nice to watch a movie or even read an article that got all the facts straight about Sonny & Cher. Even with all that has been written about them and especially Cher, one would think that the facts would be common knowledge. Alas! That is not true! Even when Sonny wrote the book the movie is based on they still got a few things wrong. The Beat Goes On did not get recorded just before the Tv show started, All I Ever Need Is You did, but they don't mention that. They just get the facts wrong. Next time spend a little time on your sequencing and pretend to care about your subject. Beyond the fact problem the story is nostalgic and the actors do a good job!
