Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Lea Frydman Save the Last Dance for Me... has always been my most favorite song. So watching the documentary which gave me an insight into why and how and for whom the song was written was a wonderful journey. Doc Pomus also wrote many songs Elvis fans would be familiar with. The Flaming Star movie, starring Elvis song was also written by Pomus. As was Little Sister and Suspicion But mostly it was the tenderness of this documentary and its portrayal of Doc Pomus that had me in tears. What a wonderful tribute to a great soul and song writer. Anyone looking to learn more about the history of rock n roll, or the blues this is must see documentary.

ralphhh This extraordinary film documents the life of one of the greatest songwriters of our age -- who was known and esteemed in the music community, but because he never became a star recording artist was less well known to the world at large. Coming down with polio at age 6, Doc Pomus overcame disability and pain to lead a rich life with many highs and lows, and a huge circle of friends. Through it all, he wrote song after great song, many of which form a soundtrack to our age.The filmmakers have made a coherent and affecting whole out of a vast amount of material, both archival footage and contemporary interviews, all of which give a vivid picture of a vivid personality. It's such a rich film that it repays multiple viewings, and the quantity and amazing quality of the music speaks for itself.I love this movie.

Emmett Pepper The film is a dazzling explanation of who Doc Pomus became and how much he had to overcome to get there. The amount of hits he wrote and stars who sang them is insanely awesome and you get a real sense of his magnetism and personality.I thought the flow and watch-ability of the film suffered a bit due to trying to jam in *too many* of his songs and collaborators. B.B. King could have just garnered a mention, for instance. Sometimes I felt like, "OK, I get it. He worked with A LOT of awesome people. I was way more impressed when it was Dion and Elvis." I think some of them could have been done with some quick clips to give a flavor for some of the less-important (either to his life/career or to the viewer) figures.All that said, there were several moments in the film with real emotional resonance and I would recommend it to any music lover.

Rhonwag This is a beautifully told story about Doc Pomus who was stricken with polio and led a very interesting life meeting fascinating people along the way and wrote popular songs we known and love including Save the Last dance for me. I just loved this movie because it was poignant and touching. It showed the struggles of an underdog who had successes but also failures. It was humorous yet sad....and uplifting at the same time. The songs in this movie were fantastic and woven into the storyline seamlessly. I enjoyed every minute of the movie and felt for Doc Pomus. You left the movie satisfied and in awe of Jerome's fascinating life. He had such an impact on so many songs we cherish and love today. Will Hechter deserves so much credit for putting together this wonderful movie. I recommend this movie to everyone!
