Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

swjg Now maybe you do and maybe you don't like Country Music and even if you do - the Rhinestone Cowboy Glen Campbell may not be your taste.But this movie / documentary about deciding to go on a last 115 date tour to say goodbye to his fans after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's is right on so many levels. Supported by his wife and backed on stage by his three kids he can still play the old songs and when he can glimpse reality through the fog makes some pretty poignant jokes at his own expense. Having finished his hit "Galveston" and taken the applause he starts the song again and the backing band hesitates. His daughter on keyboards behind him gently offers - "We just did that one Dad". For a moment he realizes what he has done and quips - "I ain't taught them how to follow me yet..." He got a Best Country Song Grammy this year for his very last studio song - "I'm Not Gonna Miss You". Opening line: "I'm still here but yet I'm gone" No sympathy vote here - it is a powerful number from the movie. Truly deserved a Grammy.

Michael_Elliott Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me (2014) *** 1/2 (out of 4)Highly entertaining but at times very depressing documentary taking a look at Glen Campbell's final tour, which was a result of him coming down with Alzheimer's Disease. This documentary works in parts of showing what a great career Campbell has had as well as a look at the struggles of this final tour and the impact that the disease has had on his family.I was lucky enough to see Campbell on his final tour in Louisville in 2012 and I was amazed at how well the show went. When you hear the disease you know what can happen so I was a little worried going into that show how the entertaining would handle it and I thought it was a highly entertaining show. After watching this documentary it certainly gave me a better understanding of the disease as well as what was going on behind-the-scenes of this tour.The documentary works best as an education to people on what the disease does to one's mind and the impact it has on those closest to the person. We're introduced to Campbell's wife, son and daughter (who are in his band) as well as other members of the band and we get an up close and personal look at someone who is slowly forgetting everything. There are some really sad moments throughout the film including the daughter talking about the thought of her father not being able to remember her.Throughout the documentary we get interviews with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Edge, Vince Gill, Brad Paisley as well as behind- the-scenes clips with Jay Leno and Paul McCarthy. Some of them share stories of Campbell's music while some share stories of how the disease has effected them. There's even talk from the family about some people's thoughts that Campbell was being exploited to go on this final tour and this is something I originally thought as well but the tour and this documentary really did do a great job at highlighting the disease.GLEN CAMPBELL: I'LL BE ME also features plenty of live performances of the classic songs, which fans will enjoy. The entire documentary is hard to watch at times but it's certainly very rewarding.

rps-2 It must have taken incredible courage to make this film. It exudes love, compassion and hope. It was a brave decision to undertake a farewell tour after Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and an even braver one to produce a documentary about it. Just imagine the production and logistical problems in shooting the many intimate scenes with a man who already was unable to cope, unable even to remember where the bathroom was in his own home. Why was it done? Certainly not for profit. Probably to extend a lifeline to the ailing Campbell. Definitely to publicize the ravages of this horrible disease. Campbell had it all. Incredible good looks. Immense success. A wonderful family. Yet it all was gradually and cruelly snatched away by Alzheimer's. I found it quite fascinating that even though most of Campbell's mind went blank, the part of it involved with music remained vibrant. This is a very sad but very honest motion picture, full of love and respect but without false hope.

richardhyppa We went to a showing of this movie last night, thoroughly enjoyed it. I never really followed Glen Campbell's career but growing up in the 60's and 70's his hits received wide exposure and they were the kind of catchy songs that repeated themselves in your brain when you didn't expect it. This movie showed us that Glen Campbell really was the happy go lucky country boy who rode his singing abilities into the limelight but didn't become an obnoxious jerk. The treatment of his Alzheimer's condition is powerful, sad yet tinged with Glen's humor. Kim Campbell's explanation of the choice to tour is critical to the involved viewer and to those of us who have dealt with an Alzheimer's patient. Without, the ubercritical would accuse the family of dragging Mr. Campbell on the tour to wring dollars from his fading celebrity. So not the case. Glen Campbell's performing ability endured and the shows appeared to be sold out.Kim Campbell came to our town for the screening and took questions. She warmed to the crowd and explained how her family has worked against the awful progression of this horrid disease. How they still take joy in Glen every day. Unfortunately this film has received little attention from the general public. In our generation, it seems that everyone knows someone who is dealing with Alzheimer's. The movie going public doesn't want to pay good money to watch a movie about anyone who is suffering from a cruel disease. But this movie is so much more than that. The music, humor and love rise above the undeniable pain of Mr. Campbell's suffering. This is a very valuable movie for anyone who knows someone suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and for anyone who may encounter it in their family. Which means just about everybody. It will help to further erase the stigma of this disease, which doctors are still loathe to diagnose. Go see it for the educational value and be entertained by the music and the story of the love of the Campbell family, instead of watching yet another formula movie from Hollywood. You will be glad you did.
