    Editorial Reviews

    From the time he was a high-school student in Lubbock, Texas until his tragic death at age 22 in 1959, Buddy Holly ignored the condemnation by townspeople and his conservative relatives and dedicated his life to the new music he became famous for performing: rock 'n roll. Gary Busey stars as Buddy Holly in this widely acclaimed big-screen biography and sings well enough on camera for the film's adapted musical score to win an Oscar. Among the classic songs by Buddy Holly and the Crickets which can be heard are: "Oh Boy," "That'll Be The Day," "Peggy Sue," and "Not Fade Away." Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

    July 23, 2004: The Buddy Holly Story is about 20% fact and 80% fairy tale - about par for the course in Hollywood. If it weren't for the rivveting performances from Gary Busey and Charlie Martin Smith, the film wouldn't get 2 stars for accuracy. However, myth or not, this is one great movie, with a phenomenal soundtrack (how can you go wrong with Buddy Holly?). But, also buy the Real Buddy Holly Story, for a true account of Buddy's life.
