Slickly directed by actor Mike Myers, it intersperses Gordon's sunny reminiscences with testimony from an army of A-list clients and celebrity pals. Admittedly, there are great stories here.

It may leave you asking: Why did I just watch that old guy's birthday tape?
Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh
Yes, there is some gravity in the film, but mostly it's the rock-and-roll story of a rock-and-roll life (even though one of his favorite clients was Canadian folk singer Anne Murray).

How can you not love this guy, this story?
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
For all the love emanating from client-pals Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, Emeril Lagasse, and Steven Tyler, there's a sadness to this movie that remains just off camera.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
