    So touching...

    It's a touching documentary and shows pretty much all of Patrick as an actor and a person. It was very loving person to all as we can see. I am a little bit disappointed because it didn't show the mini series he played called "North and South ". In my point of view was a great mini series! I am from Greece and here we loved watching it at '80s.

    Watch the movie and cry for a while. It is good to cry.

    Just finished watching I am Patrick Swayze (2019). I realized that I've seen most of his movies and these are the movies of my youth. I didn't know about his problems with alcohol and the recognition of Hollywood as Kelly Lynch mentions in the movie. It's a sad movie about a guy with an unbelievable career, stamina and physical charisma. At the same time, it's a story about a vulnerable guy who had his ups and downs, just like every one of us. In this line of thoughts, the image of Patrick Swayze shines not only with that polished perfectionism through the typical macho outlook but sparkles with the variety of different characters which he portrayed and they completed the gamut of his possibilities as an actor. You will see a lot of big names talking about him here within whom are also his wife Lisa Niemi and Rob Lowe. A must-see for the kids like me who grew up in the 80s and not only. It's also a wake-up call how short human life is. Watch it and cry for a while. It's good to cry.

    Awesome documentary

    After watching this doc. I had to watch more of his relationship with Lisa. "One Last Dance" captured the love they had for each other. It was a wonderful performance by them both. Their dance routine was breath taking. It made me cry , because their love for one another was wonderfully displayed in their dance. It was incredible..

    I AM: CRYING

    What a loving human being! I can't think of many, if any similar to him since he passed, Patrick and his wife's love story is something not many have in their life-time. One forgets all talent, uniqueness, success brought to every project part of. Patrick's relationships with friends in industry was clearly enduring by what is shown in this documentary. A legend missed. Tom Cruise will never be! (I am with Rob Lowe's Truth Tea) Anyone watching this will soon thereafter be watching catalogue of Patrick's work. Thank you Paramount for making this documentary. 9/10

    Touching and sincerely loved

    I was excited to see it and extremly sad when he passed away ever since i have been watching his movies i felt connected in some way to the man the person and the myth he was adored by all loved in secret by many and missed by all Ghost was so special it brought tears and those action packed movies showed what an actor he was i am glad he got to do what he loved for as long as he did gracious in his love and loyal in his loyalty to the show i hope that producers of I Am PaTrick Swayze bring it out on dvd with a poster of Patrick Swayze for keep sake.
