Summary: The best biographical movie I've ever seen
Review: "La Bamba" is the best biographical movie I've ever seen. It's the story of Ritchie Valens, the famous singer that sung some famous songs such as "La Bamba" and "Oh Donna." The movie tells the story of how Ritchie Valens achieved the fame as a singer and of how he dealt with it while he was doing it. It also shows how his becoming rich didn't go well with his brother and how he met the girl of his dreams, Donna. All the great songs that Ritchie Valens recorded are in this movie, and sung to perfection.Even if you're not crazy about biographical movies, I still recommend seeing "La Bamba." It's just a great all-around movie and all the actors and actresses do a great job to make this movie a classic.

Summary: The day the music died, lives here........
Review: (Instead of reviewing a film you probably already know, I stick to DVD special features) Those Exras: Commentary: Very impressive job. TWO tracks are available, one with director and cast, one with producer and music supervisor. Making of: Fine job with everyone reflecting back, plus original on-set moments, like the dramatic image of Ritchie's real life mother and sister sitting in the crowd as the La Bamba moment is recreated on stage by Phillips. Music Videos: Would've been a sin not to include them. Not just the title diddy, but "Lonely Teardrops" as well. Overall: Satisfying package for fans, though some deleted scenes and outtakes would've been nice.

Summary: Good but it has major problems too
Review: Film needed more period flavor. What's with Ritchie's brother Bob's hairdo? Too 80's. Also, the film gets goofy towards the end with the Big Bopper going around saying "Hello Baby" to everyone and a weak performance by Marshall Crenshaw(Sp?) as Buddy Holly.

Summary: My Favorite
Review: I am now 22, and I got this video when I was 7. I watched it night and day, I love it. Even though I have seen it a hundred or more times. I still cry every time. Amazingly I still have my orginal tape, if only I could find a dvd of it somewhere then it could get a rest. Wonderful movie, makes you feel like you are actually involved, and it is easy to get really wrapped up in it.

Summary: Ka-boom! It really was 'La Bomb-a' !
Review: I just watched 'La Bamba' and have only one comment to make: if this is the Sonny Bono story, why does it star Lou D. Phillips? He doesn't look anything like him and where did I miss Cher in this story? He never sang any of those songs, and they show him dying way before he really did and not in the same way. Sonny Bono died in a skiing accident, not in a plane crash in Iowa. My god, whoever wrote this got the plot completely wrong, the characters grossly confused with other ones, and the time line all wrong. If this had been the Richie Valens story, it would be pretty accurate. Over all, I'll give it a 5 for effort. I'm off now to do commentary on the 'Richie Valens Story' which has somehow got Sonny Bono and Cher in the starring roles...

Summary: fantastic
Review: I love this film!! after being introduced to it by my older sister i have never looked back!!! Lou diamond Phillips is amazing as Ritchie Valens and Esai Morales is equally great!!! the supporting cast helps what is already a fab film become a classic!! The soundtrack is great and the end music that they play in the final scenes makes it so emotional. The film really reminds us what a loss it is when someone as talented as Ritchie Valens was dies so young... The film has never stopped making me cry and i am sure i will continue to love this film.. it is a timeless piece which is a fitting tribute to one of Rock n Roll's finest!

Summary: "LA BAMBA" - THE LEGEND OF RITCHIE VALENS
Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE...IT DOES NOT GET BORRING. BEFORE I SAW THIS MOVIE I DID NOT KNOW THE STORY OF RITCHIE, ALL I KNEW WAS HE SANG "lA BAMBA", AND "DONNA", AND WAS KILLED IN A PLANE CRASH WITH (JP RICHARDSONG)- THE BIG BOPPER, AND MY PERSANOL FAVORITE 50'S ARTIST BUDDY (CHARLES HARDIN HOLLEY) HOLLY. THIS MOVIE IS WORTH SEING OVER, AND OVER AGAIN. LOU D. PHILLIPS DOES A GREAT JOB. I ALSO RECOMEND THE FABULOUS FILM "THE BUDDY HOLLY STOORY" STARRING GARY BUSEY.
