I don't usually give these behind the scenes re-enactment movies a chance. For some reason, it bothers me that they might not depict the events very accurately. Which is a silly thing to criticize, because most movies based on true events change some facts, even when they are well-made. But somehow, these made for TV movies just seem too misleading. Well, in the case of this Three's Company biopic, I didn't care because it was just too entertaining not to like.
The movie focuses mostly on Suzanne Somers and how her choices affected the show. The fact that Joyce DeWitt was involved with the production seems to lend it some credibility, until you notice that her character is the only one in the movie who doesn't do anything wrong. You really have to be out of touch to help make a movie where everyone behaves badly but you and not expect people to be suspicious about the authenticity.
It's sad to think that the making of this show was so troubled--the episodes were so carefree and upbeat, and the cast seem like they could have been great team, on screen and off.
It may not be any more factual than a tabloid, but I couldn't stop watching this movie.
