for anybody who grow up between 1960 to the early 1980 and the name charles nelson reilly should click with you ( especially if you watch a ton of kid vid and game show ) . the documentary and film mostly at his one man play or monologue or diatribe and on the last two performance should be worth you while . reilly recall his tortured childhood and up thru his late adolescence with a mix of snide humour and pained memory ( how he even get through childhood and adolescence with a vile and racist and homophobic control fanatic mother and a alcoholic and manic depressive father and a comatose aunt and other dysfunctional family member be a small miracle in itself ) . he also recall his early year on broadway ( only after he be reject by the president of nbc for be gay ) and and his eventual rise a a television celebrity and make this for a film to be take upon . about my only beef be the occasional clumsy camera and edit work that make this film a wee bit of a challenge ( the camera seem to be everywhere it not suppose to be more than a few time and plus the framing seem to be way off and give the film a rather clumsy and home movie look and such a ziggy stardust and the spider from mar and which be mar by bad camera and edit work ) . if you can get past that and the life of reilly be one to seek out .
