Meat Loaf's stuggling young life with an alcaholic father who abused him, and a dieing mother with cancer. His struggles with becoming famous when everyone was closing the door on him. (I hope they are kicking themselves now). Then his tragic downfall, loosing his voice, being taken by people he loved and trusted. Then his strenght to fight back years later to become the man he is today. A very moving movie. I watch it almost every day. I can't get enough of it. The actor W. Earl Brown does a very good job playing Meat. You almost forget that it's not Meat. This is a must have movie for any Meat lover. I have an autistic granddaughter who loves this movie. She is 4 years and will sit down a watch it over and over. Meat's biography has saved my live may times with my granddaughter, when she have a bad day and is grumpy I put it on and she comes running to see it. I give it ***** + stars.

I saw this in vh1 and became an instant fan of this huge guy named MeatLoaf. this movie is a sad story from his childhood to adult life.
Had to buy it. His story show you can achive ypur dreams even when everyone else can't see it and makes fun of it.

Although taking into account all of the "inaccuracies" in this movie, it is definitely worth a look for the average Meat Loaf fan. I was fortunate enough to catch this flick on VH1 Classic one night, and I thought the performance of W. Earl Brown was stellar. He may have been lip-syncing, but still a powerful performance indeed.
