REVIEW
Some of the things that transpired when Petey goes on the air for the first time demand a certain amount of credulity to accept. And possibly his girlfriend was not quite so ebullient as portrayed. But apart from these minor issues this fact-based movie has a lot going for it.
As starters it is entertaining with more than a few amusing moments. The performances of the three lead actors are all first-rate and the story is one few of us are familiar with. One note of caution though: the profanity might make some people uncomfortable.
CLASSIFICATION
for pervasive language and some sexual content.
