Take Me Home: The John Denver Story (2000)
Good, but lacks depth

In a word, shallow.
Or how about, "a really good idea with a lot of potential"? Knowing what I do about John Denver's life I would have much rather seen a PBS documentary on him than this program - after which I wondered how much of what I had seen was real or just artistic license.
The elements were there, I suppose, but they weren't very fully developed. And since I like Denver's music I wanted to watch the show, but if I wasn't a fan I don't think there would have been much in there to keep me watching.
Perhaps a mini-series would have given the needed time to develop some elements a bit more. Or maybe it would have been just as shallow, but longer; I don't know.
Maybe I just ought to read his book instead.
