I never thought anything could make Cary Grant boring, but these people certainly managed it! They took one of the all time Hollywood greats and created a snooze fest about him. I've seen many biographies about Cary, and enjoyed them all. I've seen almost all his movies, and thoroughly enjoyed them. So, I certainly thought I'd enjoy this. Nope! I wish I never saw it, because I will always have it in the back of my mind when thinking of Cary Grant. So, if you're a fan, stay away! Go watch a different biography of him. You'll learn just as much, but won't be left with a sour taste in your moth.
... View MoreNot every movie is for everybody. If you're a die hard Cary Grant fanatic and wanted it to be just documenting everything he did in life, you're gonna be disappointed. This is merely exploring his pursuit of happiness. It's fascinating hearing about the things that had happened in his past and how they shaped him to become who he was. It's also very meaningful to me to have movies like this. It's a unique perspective and it made me think and feel heavily. Which is something I really love from a movie, and if you do too then you might like it.I hate not giving it 10 stars, but definitely as far as film making goes it's not award winning. Still great nonetheless.

I don't know if they were gay or not, and I don't really care, but I've read they had a very close relationship.The film is incomplete without it.
... View MoreLets get the first thing out of the way. Cary Grant is one of the performers I admire greatly. I have not researched his career in depth but I was aware of his real name. Learning about his troubled childhood and his relationship with his mother and women was enlightening. I was shocked to find out he used LSD, under medical supervision, to better understand himself and was more shocked to find out about his weaknesses. He did turn those weaknesses into a strength though and became a better performer by understanding himself.Recommended viewing for his fans and amateur shrinks.
