Arthur has since converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and is leading a completely different life as a volunteer in the Family History Library. The old Arthur was caught up in the rock star world of substance abuse, partying, and everything else that goes with it. The contrast between these two lives is fascinating, especially when vocalized by some of rock's biggest names.
This film will be far more entertaining if you are really into music or Mormon. If you happen to be both (like myself) it's excellent. Make sure and wait for the end of the credits to hear David Johansen sing "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" -- all the versus! It's awesome. He does another hymn in the DVD extras.
Rating: B+

Without giving too much away, the movie ends in a way that some might think is sad, some might think is ultimately very satisfying. All I know is that I was kind of torn open a little bit emotionally by the end of the movie, and when David Johansen started singing at the credits, I totally lost it.
Tears come to my eyes right now just even thinking about it.
