The David Cassidy Story

I happen to catch this today on VH1 Classic - channel surfing pays off sometimes! I really liked getting the insight into David Cassidy. And boy did they do some great casting in getting Andy to play David - he was great, looked so similar it was eerie, sounded great and - as others have stated - you can tell he spent time with or studied David and had his mannerisms down.

I gotta say this movie broke my heart - his relationship with his Dad, his reaction to that poor girl's death in London! I think some performers would have been more like "hey, wasn't my fault..." but it really rocked him. When he dealt with the scenes with Jack in Vegas and then when Jack died... he gave a great performance.

I LOVED that they had David come out at the end and he and Andy performed together!

I saw this movie in DVD version. Well, first of all, I would like to say that Kavovitz choice was really great, cos' he looks like David Cassidy and sometimes we could make some confusion about who is who. But there is some errors in the movie. For example, in one scene we could see David in 1973 tour and in another one, we see him celebrating his 21th anniversary... We all know that David was born in 1950, so he should be celebrating his 23th anniversary... Other thing that I realized is that David begun to wear the shell's necklace around 1973 or 1974, not in 1970!!! But despite of these details, the movie is interesting, soft and very nice, showing the career of one most important pop idol of the 70's. I can say that I felt myself very happy and thrilled when I saw that surprising ending... I almost cried!!!

I really enjoyed watching this movie. It took me back and brought back very happy memories for me. I'm glad to see David got himself back on track.

Andy did an excellent job and I actually felt like I was watching David on screen. It was great to see him at the end of the movie singing.

I look forward to following both careers of David and Andy.

I just finished watching "The David Cassidy Story". Andrew Kavovit gave an outstanding performance as Cassidy.At times I thought it was really him. He had him down to a T. The movie itself was good. It's a shame what happened to him after his Partridge Family stint. When you see what fame can do to a person, it makes you be thankful that being a nobody(like myself) can have it's advantages. I was a "Partridge Family" fan years ago & still listen to there music to this day on CD. I also have two David Cassidy solo CD's. If you read this David, I commend you on a very fine life story of yourself. Sorry about your Dad. Your appearance at the end with Andrew was a nice added touch to this well done story..... Was a little disappointed that "Reuben Kincaid" was not mentioned in it.

Why is it that it seems no one in Hollywood can make a TV movie that is historically accurate? Forget the performances and technical aspects. I enjoyed this film but why don't today's TV filmmakers do any historical research? When David is giving his famous Rolling Stone interview, which took place while the Partridge Family was still on the air, the song 'Hot Blooded' by Foreigner is on the radio. The last episode of the Partridge Family aired in August of 1974 but 'Hot Blooded' didn't come out till 1978!

After David learns of his father's death, which occurred in 1976, the next scene shows David in a bar having a drink. The sub-title reads 'One Year Later' as David watches Oliver North testifying at the Iran Contra hearings on TV. This didn't take place until 1987! That's eleven years later guys! It seems there are TV Movie makers that either need to study their history or learn to add better. A good picture but don't write your history reports based on it.
