aka Charlie Sheen is long on clips and footage that could have been truncated to deliver a more streamlined documentary experience. Still, seeing an iconic actor finally looking better than he has in a long time is good. Go to Full Review
Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) Sep 24
And Sheen, “somehow makes a disreputable character loveable”. More than anything though, he makes the debauchery entertaining. And that, rather than any remorse, is the overriding impression of this film. Go to Full Review

...the documentary invites us to question not only the nature of success and failure, but also the way we celebrate the pain of others. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

JM M @jmmch Jan 4 He is someone that received many opportunities in life and shows how he trashed everything. Not a role model, he damaged everybody close to him. Very bad example, very immature. See more Frizz @Frizzbizz Dec 28 How is anybody so unaware of what an abhorrent human being this man really is. He deserves to lose everything for all the heinous stuff he conveniently skipped right over. Do ya research. Dude is a selfish egomaniac who abused countless good people, and nothing he's been through gives him a pass on the things he was silent about. See more David F @dfulmer Dec 24 A good Hollywood biopic. See more Mark A. @iggysc Nov 7 Gritty and real! Hard to come by these days in movies and I enjoyed seeing all the great stars with Charlie in grade school growing up together. What an amazing life and it was real. Enjoy. See more Dave C @Chase1399 Oct 21 I'm very proud of Charlie for doing this documentary. I'm happy he's enjoying life properly now. Great work on this docu, as I feel it can potentially help others as well. See more P K Oct 8 I've never been a huge Sheen fan, but as an 80s kid appreciated much of his work. This was GOOD. Love him or hate him, it's typical Sheen style with him being brutally honest no matter how good, bad or ugly. Sheen's willingness through the years to accept responsibility for his escapades in lieu of dodging self responsibility like so many other celebrities has always been respectable.
