When CNN advertised that they were showing this film, I was very interested and excited. I was in my late 20's when this show was aired, and thought it was terrible, but watched parts of a number of shows, as it was like watching a train wreck. Still, since Mort was so out-of-control, I thought this would make a fun and interesting documentary to watch. Uh-uh. About half way through, I was bored, although I continued to watch it until the end. At 90 minutes, the movie was way too long, and would have worked more effectively as a one hour show on HBO, or even CNN for that matter. There were weird animation scenes, and weird flashbacks, particularly of his father, who was a famous singer of an earlier era. In short, I didn't think it was possible to have an uninteresting, uninspired documentary on Morton Downey Jr., but guess what? That's what the filmmakers did.
