While I never was a big fan of Michael Landon's TV work, I do remember liking his Little House on the Prairie when I was a kid, the longer it did run, the more tedious it became, not to speak of Highway to Heaven. But it gets worse with this Michael Landon jr directed TV movie about his father... or more precisely: about the son. It's a family drama, OK, but what a boring one it is. You never get to like any of its characters nor do you get a view into Landons work as actor and director. All of it is so superficial it gets quite silly to the end. Yes, it could have been interesting, maybe Michael Landon was not the Mr. nice guy he liked to portray in his shows, but with this terrible TV movie neither of it really gets a deeper look. Don't bother to watch it.
