Rating:  - TRAGIS STORY - MARIO LOPEZ SUPERB
tHIS MOVIE WHILE VERY SAD AND EMOTIONAL IS SUPER SUPERB. MARIO LOPEZ IS PERFECT AT EVERY GIVEN MOMENT IN EVER FRAME. YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE YOU ARE WATCHING GREGG NOT MARIO. MR. LOPEZ IS AN UDERATED ACTOR - SAW HIM IN A CHORUS LINE AND HE STOLE THE SHOW. HE HAS THE RARE ABIITY NOT TO BE MARIO LOPEZ - BUT- TO BE THE PERSON HE IS PLAYING. GREAT GREAT GREAT.

With the Olympics closing in on us Ariztical is releasing "Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story" and it is a welcome addition to our DVD libraries. Originally made in 1977, the film is a well made biography of a gay icon and a man who taught many of us to accept ourselves.

Rating: - A SAD STORY BUT MARIO LOPEZ WAS SUPERB!
This was a very sad story with both tears and joy. Greg's youth was not what I would call perfect, but he made it through. Mario Lopez's portrayal of the famous Olympian was superb! He needs to be recognized for the excellent actor that he is. If I could have given it 10 stars, I would have.
