Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon

"It seemed like a weird choice. Funnyman Mike Myers - Austin Powers himself - makes his directorial debut… and it's a documentary about talent manager Shep Gordon? Then around two thirds of the way through Myers pops up on screen and proclaims Shep a good buddy, and it becomes clear that this is a feature length tribute from one friend to another."

"It's an affectionate, sometimes downright slobbery career salute with a soft, unexamined center... of limited interest outside the celebrity bubble it depicts."

"More sugar-rush than Sugarman, but Gordon's extraordinary life just outside the spotlight is a whirlwind of charm and chutzpah."

"Bears an atypically vervy style for a first-time filmmaker, who touches on his own rough patch and Gordon's saintly intervention."

"This clubby documentary lauds the swellness and shrewdness of Gordon with the help of celebrities and the sunnily mellifluent subject himself."

"He's splendidly charismatic company, as his A-list roster attests en masse."

"You'll be looking him up as soon as it ends. The feeling this is all some huge elaborate hoax only adds spice!"

"Very much a celebration. But Gordon comes across as a refreshingly candid man who feels no compulsion to varnish the truth."

"It might veer towards hagiography at times, but its subject is so entertaining you don't even care."
