All biopics are camp

"How about a tranquilizer? It can't hurt you?"

... and that's when the trouble starts.

You cannot capture a person's life in 90 minutes. This is a decent biopic with the typical camp histrionics. Add Tony Orlando as Jose Ferret (he must have had a fit) and there are some unintentionally hilarious moments. Her public meltdown Is EPIC.

You will not lose your affection for Miss Clooney after seeing her life wasn't all roses. I do think Beverly Angelo would have been better suited for the role, Sandra Locke does an adequate and sincere job.

Oh lord. Was that JOEY TRAVOLTA?
