Pop And Me (Full Frame)

DVD, 91 minutes, MGM

It took a trip around the world for Richard and Chris, a Father-and-Son filmmaking team, to discover something great...each other. This award-winning, poignant and often funny film documents their globe-trotting adventure, showcased by interviews of fathers and sons from all walks of life. A "satisfying, sentimental trip" ("Mr. Showbiz"), Pop & Me is "a sly examination of tension and bonding that crosses generations" (Variety) and gets right to the heart of family love and devotion. For six months, a retired Wall Street banker (Richard) and his filmmaker son (Chris) travel the world collecting candid and touching stories from fathers and sons. Their journey pieces together a rich tapestry of tales as varied as the men they interview, and one, from Julian Lennon, includes a shocking revelation about his famous pop music father. But these fathers and sons serve as a heartwarming backdrop to the personal drama that unfolds between Richard and Chris, whose own relationship is put to the test.
