In 1993 Michael J Fox had wrapped his last Back To The Future film and left Family Ties (the TV show) behind.
Fox was still a huge star and did a little New York film that seemed like it would be too small or pedestrian for the box office giant.
Life With Mikey was however a great tribute to Fox's life as a child star and all child stars.
In the film he plays a former child star...now washed up and running a talent agency for children hoping to be stars.
Fox's character runs into Christina Vidal as Angie Vega and a classic is born.
I love films like Life With Mikey for several reasons.
One because life the motion picture Fame...the hunger for the young people to make their way as performers is so vibrant you can taste the hunger and hear it's heart beating.
Also like Fame...the city of New York is a character itself.
Life With Mikey is a fairy tale but in this one...we see all the people that will never get to live in a castle but they still are working to get to the ball.
The film goes from funny to heart breaking to heart warming scene after scene.
The film shows that every performer has a family that truly loves them whether they are a star or hope to be star.
On a scale of 1-10. I rate Life With Mikey a solid 7....and in fact it's a favorite of mine...as far as making me happy? Life With Mikey gets 10 out of 10 easy.
