I taped this movie from my TV with fairly high expectations. With Barbara singing and playing, how could I go wrong? But Maureen McCormick - what a poor choice to play Barbara! The scenes with her trying to portray a 16 year old were particularly painful. You don't have to pick a look alike to be successful. Think Jessica Lange as Patsy Cline.
Much more time should have been spent on her musical career and far less on wallowing in the aftermath of her auto accident. Still, if you like Barbara's music, it's worth a look. 6 out of ten for the music only.
