Los Angeles Times

Keach should have trusted the power of Augie and Lynn's story, rather than adding ... unnecessary, ineffective flourishes.

Stories like this need to be told and celebrated. And with "Augie," actor turned filmmaker James Keach delivers an inspiring take on a man whose purpose was revealed only after his body turned on him.

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

'Augie' simply is not your standard inspirational documentary about one man's fight against a dread disease. It's also a love story that celebrates the connection between Augie and his wife, Lynn, who has stayed by his side and ... been his voice.

Rated: 3/4

This movie is very enjoyable and heartbreaking. Defiantly worth watching, especially if you want to see a real story of someone who has everything then has to struggle as he looses it.

Just watched Augie at the suggestion of a friend. What a movie!! It really makes you think how lucky we are to be alive regardless of our circumstances. Clearly Augie decided to make the most of his life before and more importantly after his ALS diagnosis. Take 78 minutes from your day to watch this movie. You will not regret it.

Funny, poignant, inspiring story -- Watching the journey of Augie and Lynne Nieto from 'masters of the universe' to caring activists is unique and touching. Nieto founded LifeFitness, drove his Ferrari, worked too much, partied and made money until his ALS diagnosis 13 years ago. It's beautiful to watch Augie and his incredible wife, Lynne as they comprehend the news - from devastation to humility and vulnerability, and then hope and determination to LIVE and fund the development of a drug. Filmmaker James Keach performs a miracle (ANOTHER miracle, after Glen Campbell... I'll Be Me) in making a movie that includes Augie's perspective using green-screen, Augie's computer screen, and tons of humor. Makes you appreciate all you have and examine the priorities you choose... Loved this film.
