Dire egotistical writing (from director Timothy Scott Bogart) & an abysmal lead performance (Jeremy Jordan) make the charmless, clichéd, pure cringe "Spinning Gold" practically unwatchable, despite being the true '70s based tale of the rise of the likes of Kiss, Donna Summer, The Isley Brothers, Village People & Bill Withers (and the revival of Gladys Knight). Unfortunately Bogart finds his own dad (the crass producer / executive behind those acts) more interesting than them... but he aint, he's an odious, self-satisfied twerp (if the film's to be believed). Supports from the likes of James Isaacs, Lyndsey Fonseca & Michelle Monaghan don't save this turd... it stinks. Flush!

From the direction to the editing to the sound quality (which is ironic) to the script to the acting... It should all be much better than it actually is. The audio is terrible. The direction and editing is too choppy; all over the place which means there is no smooth and accessible narrative. The lead is not good. It may be the poor script and direction but he just doesn't carry it. But that may not be entirely of his fault. Once again, the bedding tracks are far too loud. So much so it's difficult to hear what is being said half the time. It's just boring. It's just not interesting. And it should be. It should be better.

I didn't know anything about this movie going into it. But I was not pleasantly surprised, more so unpleasantly annoyed. I gave it a 5 stars because it is not a terrible movie, some of the musical scenes I enjoyed a bit. And I generally do see a lot of work has been put into making this film hence I don't like to give it lower. However I didn't enjoy this movie at all. The whole film I found myself annoyed with the main character (forgot his name, I think he was called bogard, which I know is ironic since It is even mentioned in the movie that everybody knows kiss but nobody knows this guys name). I'll just proceed to cal him bogard in this review. Normally I could enjoy a movie about a flawed character and since it's a biopic I was willing to give it a go. But the writing of this character is just laughable, I felt as if the movie wasn't aware of the way the viewer would feel about this character. And then in the end I felt it getting better but then there was this horrible scene made to make us feel pity for him but it was done in such a unsubtle, forced and rushed way. Everybody in this movie is overacting, nothing feels genuine and real. I felt no connection to the characters and lost interest in the story very soon. I didn't understand what was happening Sometimes, I didn't know what the movie wanted to be or wanted me to feel. One second it felt like a drama, the next like a comedy, then it had some darker crime moments and none of it blended together to make one cohesive film. I wouldn't recommend watching it in cinemas.

Neil bogart ne bogatz from bklyn, ny was one of the founders of casablanca records, a very hot, short lived disco, ersatz r n r label from the very late 1970's. You would have to be a baby boomer to have any interest in this film and to have any understanding of what is going on. Unfortunately, not much. Drugs, sex and alcohol. Nothing has changed since then. The story is so familiar, i'm surprised it doesn't have a copyright. Anyway the film lacks spark and just sits there, especially after the first hour. It seemed to me to just come to a complete stop. Somehow we plowed on for over another hour, but to no avail. It was just boring. The electric personality jeremy jordan has shown in many other places, especially live, is completely missing here. That's a shame, since he carries the entire picture on his shoulders. When things like that happen, i always blame the director. Tim bogart. In this case. This is not for you if you want to learn about the so called disco era. Love to love ya baby. Rock on.

This film was a fun tribute to Casablanca Records, Neil Bogart, many other people behind the scenes, various bands and singers, with a much deserved emphasis on Kiss and Donna Summer. The film handles even it's darkest moments in a light way. That's how we have to handle life sometimes. We don't always get to be sad, because life doesn't stop. It also allowed the real people, many of whom are still alive to keep some personal moments private, even when portrayed in a movie. The film may seem long at 2 hours and 17 minutes, but it's very easy to watch, and flows very well. I'm only 30, so I missed the actual era the film shows. I know the names, but I didn't know the story. The plot gives enough background information to let you know the basics, without droning on. I don't get why so many reviews were negative. Movies can be fun and still be good. Some movies are meant to be gritty, and some are meant to be colorful. This film was great.

I had high expectations here and this movie didn't come close to meeting them. At it's core is an amazing story, but they failed to tell it with any suspense, compassion or coniction. The trailer sells you on inside details of every act on the label, but for the most part, we only get to know Kiss and Donna Summer. The biggest problem with this film is none of the talent looks like who they are portraying. Kiss has 5 decades of Cosplayers and every one of those fans looks better than the clown squad they assembled for this film. Not a single member looks like the actual band member and Gene Simmons looks like he's about 5"6' and that is with the platform boots. Tall talent in real life is portrayed by short people. Thin people like Gladys Knight are portrayed by a fat woman, and short people like George Clinton are portrayed by talent a full foot taller. As much as I tried to get into this movie, the poor portrayals kept pulling me out. The music also was poorly done again removing me from the fantasy. There are two reasons this movie is going to tank. 1) its target audience is most likely retired or pushing it. 2) it's not true enough to the people to satisfy the crowd. This was a watered-down remake of Rock of Ages. A poor parody or of poor movie. That's what happens when you allow the family of the subject to run the show. These kids are not film makers and it shows in every scene.

So there's plenty of other movies this reminds me of: Goodfellows, All That Jazz, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind (maybe it's the curly wig), even the recently viewed Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game. Maybe even Cadillac Records. But I was in for a romp through some musical history, even if it's likely there's some liberties taken. They tell us that it's a story based on actual events at the beginning, so if you're in on being along for the ride, let's go. Casablanca was such an ubiquitous record label in the later half of the 70s, a stylized glimpse of that journey and the charming flawed impresario who made it happen, was enjoyable viewing. Who doesn't enjoy an underdog story? I don't know what's behind the very limited release, viewing times etc. I was glad to see it in the theater and be totally immersed in what was his kids' love letter to their dad.

I will give the director (son of the man this movie is about) credit. Watching this movie from beginning to end (or rather listening to the narration, A clear sign this movie was bad) made me interested in his dad. Ironically, I became so interested that I felt this man deserved a better movie about himself. It was over bloated with too much stuff that could not be gel together well. Possibly would have been better as a series of episodes in which each musical act was on focus (If it was a series, I would give it a higher rating simply because of the Kiss episode). Its funny that the movie is about the filmmaker's father because it felt like the man himself directed it as a stoke to his own ego. Literally, the film was a man telling me how awesome he is and realistic that could have been done in a podcast or Youtube video. These days listening to some one talk for over two hours seems like better time management than watching a boring biopic.
