This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film starts off fun and fast-paced, but loses steam about two-thirds of the way through. The final act simply becomes a frenzied scramble by a bunch of rich old people to see who can lay the most superlatives on Shep (who, if you listen closely to earlier stories, wasnt always the nicest guy in the world). On that note - these passing clues to the fallibility of Shep are just that - there are evidently stories here, perhaps truly interesting ones, that get hinted at, then entirely glossed over, as not to upset the on-screen love-in that is taking place (the multiple ex-wives - so few got ANY airtime?).
That said, that first two thirds has a bunch of wild stories about some serious music/ film stars of the 60's and 70's that are really fun. IE - if they had paced this better, and rounded out the interviews with a few less sycophantic ones, it could have been an entertaining and interesting character piece.… Expand

I must admit I didn't know much about Shep Gordon until I listed to an Art of Charm podcast recently. It's amazing how many different experiences he had. Now I'm trying to catch up :)
