A more appropriate title would be THE UNAUTHORIZED

A more appropriate title would be THE UNAUTHORIZED STORY OF ROBIN WILLIAMS DURING HIS YEARS ON MORK & MINDY. The film makes no attempt whatsoever to delve into the personal lives of anyone on the sitcom except Williams. Dawber is described by one character in the movie as a piece of furniture, and no argument is provided here to refute that remark. I don't know if it's more brave or foolhardy to take on the impossible task of portraying the once-in-a-millennium personality that was Williams, but I must say that Diamantopoulos not only doesn't embarrass himself but occasionally acquits himself nicely. He has the mannerisms and speech down pat, but what is missing is the spark of insane creativity - it's not necessarily a soulful performance. I enjoyed the film overall for what it is - nothing more, nothing less. Even when some of the performances veered into SNL caricature territory and when the screenplay glosses over some of the rougher moments of Williams' life, I consistently found myself interested if not necessarily engrossed.

well done docudrama

For those fans of the original "Mork & Mindy" show in the 70's, this was a believable look into the early career of Robin Williams, now widely regarded as a comic genius and respected actor. The fact that it was "unauthorized" is probably meant to convey that no punches were pulled, and the dirty laundry gets aired. This was the case here as well. The producers took pains to recreate the characters from the show both physically with regard to personality. They go out of their way to put forth the fact that Williams almost became typecast for his Mork role, and the tedium and frustration that the part produced for him. After all, his fans knew he was something special when they saw him for 5 minutes on "Happy Days". His manic, rapid fire improvisational brilliance continues to amaze to this day, and yet, through this TV movie, we see how close he may have come to losing it all in the early 80's. My only qualm is that I have been unable to locate the credit for the actor who played John Belushi.
