Looks and feels made for TV but it's pretty underrated. Lou Diamond Phillips puts in the performance of his career.

You can no go wrong with this biopic movie of one the saddest tragiedies of rock and roll music. Each time anywhere i hear about the death of Richie or Buddy Holly or Big Bopper, it just breaks my heart. The movie itself is such an incredible story of a true rock legend who was well on his way to be just as big as Elvis! The day the music died is still by far the hardest loss in music history in my eyes.

The movie is pretty standard fare for a musician's biopic - heavily reliant on a few songs and musical scenes with a bit of family background material. Decently put together but nothing revolutionary. Highlights are Lou Diamond Phillips's personable nice guy performance, most of the casting, the music, and the 50s details. The low points are his brother's unsubtle role and the fact that it's all over very fast with nothing much happening apart from the usual rise from nobody to rock star.

La Bamba has got to be (next to raging bull) one the greatest and most hard-hitting biographical dramas ever made. Lou diamond Phillips is incandescent as Ritchie, his performance is matched by Morales who gives a poignant portrayal of Ritchie's half-brother Bob. The final scene of Bob calling out to his brother is almost haunting. A magnificent film.
