Review of Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling (1986) by Dave H — 23 Feb 2004
[b].
[color=red]JoJo, the film version of Richard Pryor's autobiography does exactly what it is supposed to do-tells the less than stellar portion of his life in honest-to-goodness truth and without pulling any punches. [/color].
[color=#ff0000]True, many film stars attempt to forget where they came from and what they may have lived through prior to making it big and wouldn't dare share it with the world. This movie tells it like it is, and is done in such a way that it's intended audience can relate to it. [/color].
[color=#ff0000]I become indignent when so-called sophisticated people call themselves reviewing movies that were never written with them in mind. I'd be willing to bet that some of them have skeletons in their closets, but through the art of pretense, act as though they were born and raised entirely in wealthy surroundings. [/color].
[color=#ff0000]True, it's no "My Fair Lady". but then again, it's not supposed to be.[/color].
