starstarstarstar
How much of a movie could be made about a young man who never survived his early twenties? A whole lot, judging from this excellent biopic of the late, great Buddy Holly. Gary Busey (who did all his own singing and playing) is perfect as Holly, the Lubbock, TX, teenager who helped invent rock and roll before dying tragically in a plane crash.
