Olivia Newton-John: irrimediabilmente devota a te

Kinda surprised at the hostile reception of this. It is cheesy, but OK for TV I think. It does not have the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll tales of other biopics, but seriously, who thinks the Olivia Newton-John ever indulged in any of these?

Only kept watching out of love for Olivia. Many of the characters were not introduced, and the viewer is left trying to figure out who they are. Hoped for so much more.

The woman who played young Olivia was great and looked the part. Very pretty. Whoever the one was who took over as grown Olivia was just not attractive enough to be believable in the role. Olivia was gorgeous, this one, not so much.

This TV special features Delta Goodrem in the title role. I confess I was not familiar with her until I watched this show. She is a beautiful, talented actress/singer, but she is not Olivia Newton-John, so the decision to record Ms. Goodrem's versions of ON-J's hits for this special left me wanting. I must admit there were moments when her voice did invoke the tones of Olivia's instrument, but at other times I missed the vulnerable and emotional nature of that original voice.

It's an ambitious undertaking to cover Olivia's less-than-storybook life in two hours, so this biopic hit the highlights of her life rather quickly. Since her life is well-documented, there are no surprises and no untold story. But the narrative is serviceable, with only a couple of glaring omissions.

Those unfamiliar with Olivia's career and life will probably find this story disjointed. Those who witnessed her successes and her trials via the media might wish for revelations not found in this special.

I feel like a lot of people are so quick to criticize works of are so easily. This is a good bio pic of Olivia. First off the sing was great which is a huge accomplishment for a TV bio pic. And the actress who played Olivia did awesome. You can't really set Hollywood Blockbuster standards for a TV movie. All in all it's a good movie to watch if love Olivia and want to see/learn her story. After all this is a movie she approved.
