Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Not that Frank is without talent or without charm. He's still out there performing, and he's got a hell of a voice, and he sure has a way with a story. Rated: 3/4 Jan 23, 2021 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Frank Stallone deserves a little celebration, and this doc provides an ideal way to focus our minds on a brother that’s like no other… Rated: 3/5 Sep 24, 2023 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Stallone: Frank, That Is, is a charming and occasionally hilarious look at an unsung, humble, "driven and talented sweetheart" (as Arnie so eloquently puts it). Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 6, 2021 Full Review Alan French We Live Entertainment Unless you have an affinity for Frank Stallone, it is unlikely you'll be drawn to Stallone: Frank, That Is. Rated: 1/10 Jan 30, 2021 Full Review Michael A. Smith MediaMikes If you're looking for a film in which the underdog keeps fighting, and you've already seen "Rocky" a hundred times, I hope you give "Stallone: Frank That Is" a look. Rated: 4/5 Jan 23, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider Don't you dare think Frank Stallone is a palooka or a punchline - or, in this case at least, a particularly interesting documentary subject.

Elephant Nuts Man I can't believe there really is a Real life Fredo from the movie the Godfather! Frank whoever told you to run with this documentary set you up for failure Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great incite into a great musician. A definite must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review ranny l I'm super excited to share my thoughts about the documentary Stallone: Frank, That Is about a Hollywood star that has seen and done it all. I am talking about Frank Stallone who has spent nearly 50 years entertaining us with his platinum and gold albums and his amazing songs that have topped the music charts worldwide. His movie soundtracks for the most iconic films remain familiar throughout many generations. Singer, songwriter, musician and an actor…Frank Stallone is a package deal! Stallone: Frank, That Is, a documentary written and directed by Derek Wayne Johnson, gives viewers an inside look into the life, career and struggles of a performer who has been dubbed "the most unknown famous entertainer in Hollywood." The film takes us behind the scenes as we follow Frank Stallone's professional journey told in words by Frank himself and people within his life who knew him best. Frank's accomplishments seem so remarkable, however for much of his life he has lived within the shadows of his more famous brother, Sylvester Stallone. Being "Rocky's Brother" may have been the largest hindrance to Frank's career, yet the most beneficial, because Frank's first real break within the industry came from his contributions to the Rocky Film Series. Frank Stallone's story is one of perseverance, inner strength, and a passion for the arts. Frank's path has been filled with many opportunities and setbacks. Everyone, of course, has heard of Sylvester Stallone, yet, just as talented Frank has remained the Stallone underdog. I believe this documentary is exactly what Frank Stallone needs in order to share with the world exactly who he is, what he's done, and just how talented he actually is. Frank is exceptionally courageous in sharing his deepest inferior feelings and reveals to the world that there is room for more than one Stallone! I truly enjoyed hearing from Mr. Stallone talk about how difficult his journey has been and how he hurdled so many obstacles to follow his dreams. As a young actor, I know firsthand how frustrating and disheartening it is to try to make it big within the talent world. I can relate to the look on Frank's face when as he discusses the setbacks he has faced. The industry is certainly competitive. What every entertainer needs is a will to push forward and a strong support base. The closest people in Frank Stallone's life offer words of encouragement to this amazing entertainer, which I believe is the message of this perseverant film; lots of support and self-confidence are needed if you are going to succeed within this terribly competitive niche. You need to navigate around your obstacles in order to reach your dreams. I give Stallone: Frank, That Is 4 out of 5 stars and I recommend it to ages 12 to 18. Adults would especially love this documentary also, as many of them are quite familiar with Frank's music. Reviewed by Dominic D., KIDS FIRST!
