Just watched the Charlie Sheen documentary - average at best
The guy who was doing the interviewing was weak. He wouldn’t go deep and ask the tough questions about HIV, Sheen’s homosexuality or bisexuality, or pressing his ex-wives on some of his worse actions.
Also let Sheen off the hook on the Corey Haim/Corey Feldman allegations other than to let him deny them.
Whenever some of the folks being interviewed were getting emotional and perhaps were at a good vulnerable spot to answer a tough question, the interviewer at times would break the fourth wall and on over and console the subject instead of asking more questions
He also let Charlie Sheen get away with fluffing over a lot of stuff, although Sheen did get pretty deep into his drug use in the documentary.
Jon Cryer did participate but you could tell he still totally resents Sheen for what he did to Two and a Half Men.
Denise Richards didn’t really get too deep into criticism because you can tell she still really cares for Charlie and obviously they have kids together.
And also Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez didn’t even participate. So any clips of them were 30 years old.
Bottom line though the fact that the guy was such a feeble interviewer was a total detriment to the documentary. He was more interested in being Sheen’s friend as well as a friend to everyone else he interviewed for the film, rather than digging deep and asking the tough questions.
2.5 out of 4 stars at best
