One-Trick Pony (1980)
Better than the reviews will have you believe
20 August 2014 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
One-Trick Pony is a good, very-well written piece of cinema that doesn't get the credit it deserves.
Paul Simon plays the role of the failing musician incredibly accurately, and this can be considered one of the greatest portrayals of such a character that exists. Simon's character is consistent with his real life personality - somewhat flat and disinterested but nonetheless thoughtful and professional.
The soundtrack, of course, is superb given that it consists of hits from Simon's solo career.
Other characters act well, such as Jonah's band, but it's the sheer accuracy of the storyline that holds this film up.
