Thank you for posting, I had no idea this movie even existed until it showed up on my feed today. I absolutely loved The Partridge Family back in the day. And what teenage girl didn't have posters of David Cassidy hanging in her room in the early 70s lol?! RIP David Cassidy, you are truly missed. Your music will live on in our hearts forever. 🕊🌹
@@juliebaker6969 It was David Cassidy and Donny Osmond all the way for me in the 1970-71 era until I discovered Aerosmith and Steven Tyler in the mid 70s then everything changed lol.
@@notgivinup For me it was Jack Wild until the Partridge Family came out, then it was Danny Bonaduce all the way. Though my favorite music group was always the Monkees, I listened to a lot of others too, most of them mentioned in this video.
Kudos to the casting people. At first I wasn't so sure, but the actors all really did a great job and had striking physical resemblances. I loved David Cassidy so much! My ten year old self thought I had a chance to marry him. RIP David! 😂
The Partridge Family came from an idea of a real live family group called the Cowsills with a mother and her 6 children. They had a few hits in the 60s
By the time of the Partridge Family - Brady Bunch era, Shirley Jones and Florence Henderson had known each other for a long time and were close friends.
Good movie! Thanks for the real going on's. I had heard through many grape vines of behind the scenes drama. This movie brings lot to light. Sorry for Danny's real life. He deserved better!
I've watched this before a long time ago. Danny was hilarious he stole the show. Obviously David was a heartthrob but Danny was the personality of the show
To hear Danny Bonaduce tell it, David Cassidy essentially saved his life and built him up again. I don't know anymore about him other than what is public facing but Danny's discussions seemed pretty candid and David Cassidy was a truly good guy.
I loved the show at the time. Brady Bunch and Partridge Family! I had no idea how far apart what I was watching and what I was hearing they were. And of course, my older sister had every album! Fun times!
This was fun to watch. Although, it should have been called the Danny Bonaduce story. Also, the hair on the actor who played David could never compare to David's gorgeous locks.
@@renar3618 Absolutely. In some cases it looks like they went to a thrift store and just grabbed what wasn't too frazzled. There used to be an entire line of Shirley Jones wigs. She should have offered a "David Cassidy" style that got it RIGHT! Not the first-season hair style, of course -- the later one that endured.
David Cassidy had beautiful hair. And it's noteasy to find an actor to play him. I have a movie about John and Yoko and the actor that played John was dead-on. He looked and sounded like Lennon. Amazing!!!!!!!
OMFG, I thought this was a trailer or something! I wasn't planning on watching a movie tonight, but here we go! Good thing I have snacks and time on my hands!
If I had been on that show I would have adopted Danny and he would have had the best life without drugs and alcohol. Such a special young man. One in a million.
I never wanted to see the movie it’s never gonna be the same without the same people, and nobody can ever really take David Cassidy’s place even if they try, there’s no one like David Cassidy in this lifetime, or in this world never will be again
Could there be more cult ever? Very enjoyable movie (from 1999) behind the scenes of the iconic Partridge Family and Hollywood. With Danny Bonaduce in a kind of Forrest Gump role. You can see in it what you want. Clashes everywhere around, sometimes hilarous other rather grim. Good casting. Actors did quite good. Seventies atmosphere is nicely captured.
he hasnt been on radio in years due to ill health On April 29, 2022, Bonaduce announced that he was taking a temporary medical leave from his Seattle radio show to pursue treatment for an undisclosed illness
And to think, that back lot (warner ranch) was just leveled...the partridge house. Bewitched house...gone. gidget house. Major Nelsons...the Kravitz's... all gone
@@podiumguy100William Russ is the actor who played Danny’s dad in this movie. He also played Alan Matthews, the dad to Cory Matthews (played by Ben Savage) on Boy Meets World. The actor who played Kincaid on the original Partridge Family also made a cameo on Boy Meets World once. Hope that clears up any confusion!
I really enjoyed this show and used to watch it with my very first girlfriend, Lynn ... wonder what happened to that cute wee-little blond? 🤔 RIP, David, you were indeed one of a kind.
Suzanne Crough played Tracy, the youngest girl, on that show. I don’t know who played Tracy in this movie, but Ms. Crough passed away some years ago from heart failure. She was 52 years old.
Danny became rich and famous but he wasn't happy he had difficult childhood his dad is crazy he physical abuse him. His mum should call cops and lock him up in prison. It good his mother left his crazy dad. I like watching the Patridge Family and I was born 70's.
This isn't too bad I like it, but I really loved the original series and the old space cartoon they had during the early mid 70s ,found some of both shows on TH-cam going to watch those next
I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but the video shot of Nixon after his resignation and Ford being sworn in happened months after the Partridge Family was canceled.
Very enjoyable, great casting too. Disappointing they didn't play Ovation guitars though, like on the real tv show. Ovation was one of The Partridge Family sponsors.
Back in those days parents could get by with that kind of abuse. I had a real strict father and some of what he did could have been considered that. That kind of attention did not happen until years later. But I will say that because of that a lot of kids turned out to be real trouble.
I was ten years old when the PF was on television...all the kids would disappear from the street where we played until after the show was over... We hated the boring dialogue but we loved the songs. I had a Partridge Family lunchbox...the kids at school teased me about it but I knew they were envious... PS, We hated the Brady Bunch...it was very boring compared to the PF. In junior high school, nobody admitted they liked the Partridge Family!
Wow, I learned two things from this movie. Danny Bonaduce really hated his father and David Cassidy. I have to imagine part of the hate for David Cassidy was Jealousy. I'd have been jealous.
SOMEBODY didn't do their research! The 'sweater around the neck' wasn't in fashion until the 80's. This show ran 70 - 74. It was very annoying since the character had the 'sweater look' for the ENTIRE movie, not just one scene.
I love the Partridge family. One of the better television shows.
I loved watching The Partridge Family and singing the songs.
This was a lovely movie.
Love the Partridge Family, brings back so many memories!
That was an excellent movie. The actor who played Danny and actress who played Mrs. Partridge did a great job.

Someone somewhere could have been a much better david cassidy! Please!! Cassidy did not have chubby rosy cheeks!!
Because you didn't know that I was destined to marry him! 😂
@@Lazydaisy646 it really wasn’t..
Still watch the Partridge family every day when I can such a funny , sweet relatable show ❤️
The Partridge Family came from an idea of a real live family group called the Cowsills with a mother and her 6 children. They had a few hits in the 60s
I wondered why they didn't mention that when they even gave an opening for it in the script. Maybe the Cowsills forbade it.
I remember.
I love the Cowsills.
And what a sad story the Cowsill's had too 😢
What happened to the cowsills ?
Lol. I can look it up 😁
A nice trip down memory lane
Love the stare down between The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family.
Try and find the SNL parody of The Bradys Vs. The Patridge Family, Battle Of The Bands. Beyond funny.
@@supachaloopa3611 Oh I’d LOVE to find that!
By the time of the Partridge Family - Brady Bunch era, Shirley Jones and Florence Henderson had known each other for a long time and were close friends.
@@katymagnets True. and it was Shirley who suggested to Florence to audition for The Brady Bunch because Shirley wasn't interested at that time.
They hit the mark with "Keith" and "Danny." And "Shirley" had better moves than the real one!👍
Good movie! Thanks for the real going on's. I had heard through many grape vines of behind the scenes drama. This movie brings lot to light. Sorry for Danny's real life. He deserved better!
Danny Bonaduce is Soooo Funny and Tragic simultaneously ❤ the movie is A BLAST with him involved.
I've watched this before a long time ago. Danny was hilarious he stole the show. Obviously David was a heartthrob but Danny was the personality of the show
It was Danny that I had a crush on. He was a year younger than me, but I didn't care, he was adorable.
I had a huge crush on Danny back then and I wish him well and think of him fondly to this day. Never met him in real life.
To hear Danny Bonaduce tell it, David Cassidy essentially saved his life and built him up again. I don't know anymore about him other than what is public facing but Danny's discussions seemed pretty candid and David Cassidy was a truly good guy.
He just got him a job, gave him another chance and believed in him. Thats all someone might need to get back on their feet and stay there.
40:07 I ❤ this part!!!

Good job of casting! Especially for Shirley Jones, my goodness they look alike!
MAN THE MUSIC AND THE TRANSISTER RADION AND OTHER STUFF TOOK ME PACK TO THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE THE 70S ACCEPT NOW WITH MY PUPS
The shirley jones portrayal is spot on!
Yes!!!!!
I wonder if the real Shirley has seen ut

Fun times!
I clicked on this video not expecting much. But was surprised. I really did enjoy this movie.
MY FAVORITE 70'S TV SHOW
Mine, too! I also liked the Brady Bunch! Hello from Tyler Texas
It’s the best
Absolutely LOVED this! Brought back many great memories from my childhood! Thank you for doing it!
Was a pretty good rendition of the Partridge Family. 😊
Kudos to the actress playing Shirley Jones- very close!
🤔
I thought pretty close to dead on. It seems like she watched the show too see Shirley 's movements and facial movements
They're playing my favorite type of music in this movie. "Magic Bus," "Venus," "Magic Carpet Ride." Rock on!✌️
@3:50 that's like My family; "say hi, you see them more than I do." That's why these movies are great. We can all relate ❤
Suzanne Crough has the 5 notes of Cmon Get Happy on her grave marker.
Sad she's gone.
I know right? I miss her. I know she would have loved this movie
@@jackiwheeler6963 This movie premiered in 1999, which was 16 years before she passed so I am quite sure she saw it.
Watched this every time I stayed at my grandmother's house. Good memories.
Wow. I love it! And David...😊 ... I remember when I saw him in concert in the 90 s.. Nice...💘😁 🌹
Whoever did the casting on this did a great job IMO. And the Shirley Jones character is spot on. Nice little movie for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
I loved the movie. Gives you a deeper insight into their personal lives!
I liked this..Saw another one about David cassiday..also good nostalgic fun. Shirly seemed to be lovely..im glad.
This was fun to watch. Although, it should have been called the Danny Bonaduce story.

I had a big crush on David Cassidy
Posters etc in room
Dang, David Cassidy started right in with the attitude.
Enjoyed that very much. Great casting. I loved David and Danny is a real character.
Wow! Tracy Partridge has 1 line in this movie.....
That's more than she had on the series. LOL
Rest in peace Tracy, Ruben and Keith
David Cassidy's concerts regularly filled up Dodger Stadium ...repeat ... DODGER-EFFING-STADIUM.

This was actually a pretty good show, and one way and another, I enjoyed a lot of their episodes, and liked much of the music . 🙂
BEAUTIFUL!
So sad. Danny's dad should have been charged and his kids given to the mom. That was a terrible thing he did to his family. My heart hurts for them.
different times, different laws. Be grateful for progress for children and women.
I love the old songs they folded in
Hey!!! 😃I didn't know there was a true story movie about them! I had no clue! 😁

Hi from Australia! 🇦🇺 yes I agree with you totally!
HI from Toronto! 67 & loved the series!❤
You do know this is based on the original group, the Cowsills and their lives.
It's a dramatization of Danny Bonaduce's side of how the years played out. It isn't a remake of the show ! You do realize that, right ?!
Oh well
Love this tv show 1970s. Love hippie clothing and fuuny and the music cool. On the show
Thank you for this. Very enjoyable. The narration sounds like the actual Danny Bonaduce
The narrator IS the real Danny Bonaduce.
Happy Day .. To Lionheart... He sounds just like him... Because it's the real Danny narrating the show..
If you paid attention to the credits, you would know that it is the real Danny Bonaduce narrating the film.
It WAS.
It's him! Know his voice anywhere!!
That was a good movie of The Partridge Family 🎤🎸🎹🎹🥁🎶🎶🎵🎵😎🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
The lady playing Susan Dey reminded me of her quite a bit.

Danny Bonaduce is currently a radio DJ in Seattle.
He quit drugs and alcohol a few years back.

Danny is a truth survivor!

He has a morning show and he gives "life advice".
he hasnt been on radio in years due to ill health
On April 29, 2022, Bonaduce announced that he was taking a temporary medical leave from his Seattle radio show to pursue treatment for an undisclosed illness
Why do people say he has a radio show when they don't even listen to it and know he isn't even on the show?
I really like Danny Bonaduce..he has come such a long way. I think he’s fab.
I loved this movie ❤
Me too!!!
Love this movie
When pop music was great!

The look-alikes are pretty good, for once.
No one can compare to the real David Cassidy n his gorgeous hair and handsome good looks
Not just look a likes, they were also sound alikes..... ESPECIALLY the one playing David Cassidy.
Great casting
I just saw Danny in a made for TV movie just last night!! Old 1975
I loved this movie! Danny Bonaduce's dad was TV dad to Ben Savage on Boy Meets World, William Russ.
