And the Beat Goes On - The Story of Sonny & Cher Reviews
Obviously one sided view to the dynamic duo of the 60's/70's
The actors look and sound very much like the REAL Sonny and Cher (especially the 60's version--although the actor portraying Sonny is probably a little better looking than the real Sonny Bono was). I was disturbed with the obvious prosthetic nose that the actor portraying Sonny was wearing though. Cher comes off as a total witch. Although at least one of Sonny's indiscretions was portrayed, Cher is the one who appears to drive him in this direction. Cher is incapable of happiness in this movie. She's somber, dark and unhappy throughout their relationship. I have trouble believing this when Cher herself has stated that their live's together were actually full of a lot of fun and laughs, despite some financial problems and 4 miscarriages. The early story of their initial meeting and Sonny's determination to make Cher a star is interesting, but overall this movie is very skewed to one point of view (which was a tad hurtful). I hope they come out with Cher's "Sonny and Me" show which was broadcast on television shortly after his death. I think this is a more accurate description of their relationship and Cher's obvious love and respect for the man comes through.
Thumbs Down!!!
This portrayal didn't even get Sonny Bono's 1991 book correct in it's attempt. Dates wrong, etc. Rated 'D' at best. The biggest problem with this very lame television movie is the very forced script. The poor actors', playing who?. The real Sonny & Cher love story not at all portrayed here.
