The flick's signature shots are doors closing on Klein's camera. Meat Loaf is busy, he's sick, he's tired, he's in a confidential discussion. The excuses flow forth. Go to Full Review

In Search of Paradise portrays Meat Loaf as an obsessive, self-punishing performer, striving in vain to put on a live show that matches the visions in his head. Go to Full Review

10/28/2012 A fine Documentary film with some sentimental moments... See more 01/29/2010 One of my heroes in his purest form. -http://dailycommentator.blogspot.com/ See more 10/27/2009 For all the opening piano moments, I thought this was going to delve a bit more into the person of meat loaf, instead I felt like they really wanted to focus on this tour, that no one really cares about... A bit of a disappointment. See more 09/23/2009 Excelente documental que te deja con un poco de ganas de saber mas sobre la vida de Meat Loaf, pero que te demuestra la entraga que tiene y el sacrificio para dar un show. See more 08/21/2009 Meatloaf is one of my favorite musicians, so this offers a interesting insight into this artists life. As movie though it falls FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Short of my expectations. See more 02/23/2009 A little more depth would have been nice but Meat Loaf didn't really seem like he wanted the documentary crew around at all since he kept waving them away.
