Magic is not here, Cher must have shivered.......2006-04-14

This bio movie may please those desperate to find the S & C story,however..I was part of the Sonny and Cher generation,and this movie did not capture the sense of timing and the flower power feel that brought the couple to prominence.
The magic of those days eluded the director.
Mary Bono oked this project,and as stated before..Sonny told his story.
Cher's perspective is not here.
Someday someone with a greater vision will make THE Sonny and Cher movie.
The performances are more like imitators than the real feel.

Obviously one sided view to the dynamic duo of the 60's/70's.......2005-09-04

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!!!.......2005-06-18

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.

It's a fun trip down memory lane for Sonny & Cher fans........2004-09-04

This TV movie about the career of Sonny & Cher was based on Sonny Bono's autobiography. As a fan I found it enjoyable and well cast, but it's obviously Sonny's side of their story. It would be interesting to hear how Cher remembers it.

Still, the two lead actors do a credible job and their resemblance to their subjects is excellent. The story has to condense over thirty-five years of the duo's ups and downs into less than two hours, so a lot of events are telescoped and by necessity the film is very superficial.

Don't expect depth, but it's lot of fun to watch and to hear their hit songs. It's definitely worth checking out if you're a Sonny & Cher fan.

sonny side of cher.......2004-07-03

i recorded this show off T.V. I did not think that it would come DVD. i am sure that i will ditch my VHS copy and get the DVD. i love sonny and cher. although i am not a flower child, born in 1972, their leggacy lives on through music. i remember that i recorded this show a few years ago, and i had for got to catalog it in my movie collection. about a few weeks ago i watched it all the way through. the person that playes cher is awsome. i dont think that she is as tall as the real cher but her actions very much was like cher. "sonny" was good as well. i know that i saw him on another show but i cannot remembver where. i WIll get this DVD ASAP. if you are a fan of Sonny and Cher, and like bios as much as i do then get it. now they need to release "The Karen Carpenter Story" next.
