Get Tommy to play Tommy

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2018)

A story that had to be told. I applaud Franco for doing this. He was ok in this role and I think he really adored playing this character but it was tough to play it and while he obviously has the skill and won for his portrayal I would have loved to see the actual character play himself. Some of the accent was off and seemed amateur at times. The make up was great but Franco didn't come off as believable all the time. But this movie was really well done on so many levels. These so called weirdos who show up in Hollywood inadvertently serve a purpose not for everyone but there are people who get this unrequited dream and the necessity to live it in denial as an equal alternative to accepting you don't or shouldn't be wasting your time. He certainly wasted a lot of money.
