Movie Review: God Bless Ozzy Osbourne

God Bless Ozzy Osbourne
Directed by Mike Fleiss, Mike Piscitelli
Schweet Entertainment
Released date: September 16, 2011 (UK) Limited

My local multiplex is usually full of spiky-haired teenagers queuing up for the latest horror or comedy (not that there’s anything wrong with that) often hand in clammy hand with their first date. Tonight, however, is different: there are bikers in the car park and men with long hair, leather jackets, and Iron Maiden trainers in the ticket queue. Tonight, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne is in town.

After the success of MTV show The Osbournes and his brilliant autobiography I Am Ozzy, a documentary about the Prince of Darkness was always going to happen. Being a big fan of Ozzy Osbourne I thought I knew exactly what sort of film I was in for. I was wrong.

The biggest surprise for me was not watching a comedy. Sure it will make you laugh out loud, but God Bless Ozzy Osbourne is a very honest film about a very troubled man. For all of Ozzy’s crazy behaviour it is easy to forget that he is someone’s dad. All five of his kids (including his and Sharon’s oldest daughter Aimee who refused to be part of The Osbournes) are interviewed and none could say with any certainty that he was a good dad. When the rock world was being entertained by Ozzy, his lifestyle had a big and lasting effect on them. They all still clearly love him very much and are all really proud of the way he has turned his life around and finally gone sober. It takes the cartoon character sheen off and makes him instantly more human.
