The Idolmaker Reviews
Next in line to Purple Rain for a Musical Favorite
I don't remember the year, but I was about 15 and we had just gotten cable in our area and we were so excited we were just flipping channels to see what we had! Well anyway, we came across The Idolmaker and it became one of our, my family's, most enjoyable movies. We watched it over and over and over. I can also remember sitting next to the tv and taping the songs. To me, it can be considered one of those, what they call, a sleeper classic. I just love this movie and can't wait to get my copy! Ray Sharkey was the best and he made the ending so touching. The whole movie brings out almost every emotion. You will laugh, cry, get upset, and even feel slight disgust. One for the collector's.
Peter Gallagher's First Movie a Winner!
I just watched the Idolmaker for the second time. Those who know me know I'm a big Peter Gallagher head (I have a message board on Insidetheweb.com if you wish to visit) so mabye I'm a bit biased, but I really watched closely this time and was extremely impressed! I am surprized that Peter still has not gotten the recognition that he deserves. This film was made in 1980, and it amazes me how timeless it is. All of the performances were top rate. I remember a spoof of the Idolmaker on Saturday Night Live shortly after the movie was made when Ray Sharkey hosted. He made a busboy into a "star waiter" and it was Gilbert Gottfried! Just a side note there. Anyone who loves Peter Gallagher has just got to see this movie. Excelent!
