The Gong Show Movie (1980)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Chuck Barris
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

The personal life of Chuck Barris, creator and host of The Gong Show, gradually unravels when he can't get away from the game show. He is recognized everywhere he goes, with people auditioning their crazy acts in an attempt to get on the show. He breaks up with his girlfriend and heads to the middle of the desert, but his friends show up and convince him to come back. More interesting than the plot are the Gong Show highlights, including many not-suitable-for-TV moments.
