Meat Loaf: To Hell and Back
"Meat Loaf" Aday is an overgrown Texas youngster, the son of a gentle woman dying of cancer and an alcoholic, abusive father. Tormented by his father and schoolmates over his size, he strikes out on his own after his mother's death, in an impossible task to prove himself to the world and to himself. A chance audition for a musical leads him to join forces with composer Jim Steinman, and together the two make music history with the operatic rock album "Bat Out of Hell." But the demons that drive Meat Loaf aren't assuaged by success, and eventually he must come to terms with them.

Boring
There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
