James Franco is amazing as James Dean. Franco captures the late actors vulnerability, and the plot clearly shows the the root of his vulnerability. If your a James Dean fan, you can't miss the made for TV movie.

I really liked this movie. This movie dug deep into the life of actor James Dean, and James Franco did a wonderful job playing him.

I enjoyed James Franco's performance more than this films portrayal of James Dean's life. The film only touched on the surface of who James Dean was. You learn the events of his life, not so much about him as a person. I think there was alot more to James Dean than what this film portrays.
If you are a James Franco fan then you will enjoy watching this dvd.

To be honest, I purchased this movie because I am a huge James Franco fan. I had no idea what James Dean's life story was about, so I can't comment on the accuracy of Franco's portrayal of this icon. However, I thought the movie was interesting and I got to see plenty of James Franco!

This wonderful biopic of Hollywood icon James Dean begins with his early estrangement from his father, continues with his struggles to be an actor in New York, and ends with his three starring movie roles. Along the way, he falls in love and finally learns the reason for his father's coldness.
James Franco gives the performance of his career as Dean. First of all, the physical resemblance is amazing. Franco has mastered Dean's speech, movement, and mannerisms as well as his passions and fears, and if you're a Dean fan, you'll feel like you're watching the man himself. I only wish this made-for-TV film had been shown on the big screen; its powerful emotion deserved a bigger showcase.
The story focuses on Dean's loneliness and conflicted feelings about his distant father (well-played by Michael Moriarity) and has many heart-breaking scenes. James Franco's fine performance makes this one of the very best TV movies I've ever seen.
