Neil Diamond's first, and only, starring role. This tale, about a Jewish man who tries to make it as a singer despite heavy objections from his stern father (Laurence Olivier), was ripped to pieces by critics upon it's release. I'm a somewhat mini-Neil fan and I enjoy this movie quite a bit.
Sure, it's not perfect, at all, but, it's got great music by Diamond and a bravura (perhaps somewhat over the top) performance by the terrific Olivier. Neil Diamond isn't bad at all either. You could do a lot worse than sit through this movie. 7 out of 10.
