Review of Buck (2011) by Patricia R — 11 Jul 2011

Saw it and while it is heartwarming, I didn't fall in love with it nor am I all ga-ga like a lot of folks. It has a good message but seems overdone, seen him on too many talk shows, the movie is being forced, over promoted for a doc.

There was a lot missing to the story and some details were strangely left out like his children from a previous marriage. That's a big detail, how sad, but that wouldn't promote the heroic image or story of success the filmmaker wanted.

It feels too idealistic, if you do what Buck does you too can be successful, rich, famous, have famous friends, marry a former model, etc.
