Curiosidades
David expresses disbelief when he learns that the mother, Shirley Partridge, Is going to sing with the band, as if that would be impossible in real life. But the reality is that the Partridge Family was loosely based on an actual pop group called The Cowsills, where the mother did indeed sing with the group. The Cowsills were well-known at the time for Top Ten hits such as "Hair" and"The Rain, the Park, and Other Things", so David, coming from a showbiz family, would certainly be aware of the group and would understand the Inspiration. His likely reaction would have been: "So you're copying The Cowsills?".

Erros de gravação
In the opening narrative, Danny explains that each month when the mortgage was due his brother and sister would sit outside while his parents "Re-enacted the fall of Saigon." Saigon fell in 1975, a year after the Partridge Family went off the air so they could not re-enact it since it had not yet occurred.

Worth a second showing

The movie showed a lot more depth than the recent David Cassidy Story and addressed one of the major flaws in that movie. By focusing on only the 4 years of the Partridge Family, it gave a more complete portrait of the Partridge Family phenomena. From recent interviews of cast members, "Come On Get Happy" seemed pretty accurate. Even so, like the David Cassidy Story, it tried to cover too much territory. They should have focused more on 1 or 2 of the characters - like Cassidy and Dey or Danny Bonaduce - instead of cramming all the characters in 1 movie. (I'm still waiting for the Danny Bonaduce story which I think has the most dramatic appeal).

Second, they didn't really show the sheer hysteria surrounding the program, which was covered better in the DC Story. They also didn't show the emotional devastation of the death of the fan at Cassidy's farewell show or cover the greed of the producers. All in all, I'd give it 3 stars. It's worth a second showing.
