A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

This is a great documentary. It is not a boring account of the numbers of movies he made or records he sold or a fan girl rant about the greatness of Hollywood and its possibly handsomest leading man. This is a very true story of someone who was down, then up, then down again and back up. He did not let himself become part of the Hollywood problem that had to be kept secret. He broke away and did Polyester and Lust in the Dust after Hollywood had thrown him into the scrap heap of old pretty but wrinkled toys. His ice skating and love of horses and other scenes show that he was a real person, not just management's flavor of the month. Hooray for Tab Hunter. We need many more like him.

The real reason i rather enjoyed this biopic was simple. This was a guy who is just a decent man. Extremely talented...had no idea he was a figure skater or horseman. I never saw him as a incredibly handsome man...guess he isn't my type, but i really enjoyed listening to his comments. For once, someone who is down to earth and not outlandish or known for antics and acting up. Just a decent human being with his faults, but also obvious virtues.Its worth watching....not too many like this anymore. I really miss real, insightful and honest people on TV anymore.

Kudos to director Allan Glaser for expanding this powerful bio-film to include facts about Mr. Hunter's personal life struggles and not focusing entirely on just his Hollywood film career. The result is an entertaining and emotionally touching film about a man who is much deeper than one might assume. His strength of character shines through in his candid discussions about being a heartthrob for teenage girls while living a secret life as a gay man during the 1950s. For the first time Mr. Hunter talks about the father he never knew, his mother's mental illness and his faith in God and the church even after the church seemingly rejected him because of his openness and honesty. Tab Hunter is a survivor and this is one Hollywood story with a happy ending.

A fascinating look at a Hollywood that no longer exists through the eyes of one of it's biggest stars. For those who have only heard the name Tab Hunter and know nothing of his career you're in for a treat. Tab shares a sincere, open and honest look at his life from the heights of stardom to the darkest days of loosing a beloved brother, mother and a career.This film weaves through the life and times of a celebrity you truly like getting to know. With candor and grace Tab generously shares with us his most meaningful relationships and how they impacted not only his private, but his very public life and career.Tab, with great humility takes us on journey through an extraordinary life that very few have or ever will experience. It was a pleasure getting to know him. Bittersweet and unexpectedly emotional on so many levels.
