Review of Gleason

Gleason (2002 TV Movie)
9/10
Garrett IS Gleason
1 September 2022
Brad Garrett embodies Jackie Gleason in this film. No wonder he was nominated for an Emmy for his performance. He looks like Gleason (with the exception of his towering stature), he has Gleason's mannerisms, voice, and walk down to a tee. Amazing performance by Garrett and the supporting cast is good too. The story is a little sad from his childhood to his dysfunctional personal life but Gleason managed to hold it all together professionally. My only negative is the movie ending. I would like a different ending to wrap up the rest of the film in a better way. If you have ever watched The Honeymooners videos or you are a Jackie Gleason fan, you should see this film.
