I went to a premiere for the movie about John O'Leary's life. If you don't know the story he was burned badly as a 9 year old child in a self-induced accident he was literally playing with fire and nearly killed himself. I knew the story because I had seen him speak before. He took his misfortune and used it for good is the cliff notes version.

Sony bought the book rights to "On Fire" and John Macy and John Corbett are in the film. It was really good. It will get panned on Rotten Tomatoes and elsewhere because there's no gay sex or trannies in it, and it is a little Hallmark corny. But the thing is, when you watch the real footage of things that are depicted in the movie, most of the corny feel good stuff is actually true!! It is such a nice break from the dark crap. And more than once in the movie he is shown saying "The Best is Yet to Come" which I thought was interesting.

One thing that I know from seeing him speak that you wouldn't know but was kind of cool, is that the set is not a set. The house in the movie is the house he grew up in in St. Louis. The streets the kid playing him is riding his bike on are in his neighborhood. The hospital is the hospital he was treated at, etc. The church he got married in was his church and the woman playing his wife is wearing her wedding dress. The actress that plays her is stunning, but when you see the wedding photos - so is his wife! It's such a great story. And without spoilers, as he has said, the hero in the movie is everyone that supported him along the way. It was really, really good.
