I thought this movie sucked hogs anus.

Don't get me wrong, for a TV movie it's watchable, and I'm a Michael Imperioli fan, but whoever made this should be disappointed in themselves for not being faithful to the truth.

If you read some stories about Stu Unger, he led an incredibly interesting life, with many of those stories revolving around Cocaine ... everything from his nose collapsing to spending weeks in hotel rooms doing so much coke he was incoherant.

This movie spent too much time focusing on Stu's childhood, as if to warn the viewer "hey, this is the reason he goes off the rails later" but then never addresses his later Cocaine habit, only merely touching upon it in a G rated sort of way.

I'm guessing this was a decision based on sympathy to the Ungar family, but fair suck of the sav, the guy is dead and a good movie should show his greatest achievements AND his greatest weaknesses.

pfff.
