I have seen it, and our general response is, 'Hey, it's a made-for-TV movie.' That says about enough. The people involved have admitted and said they have taken some historical license... It is just unfortunate that parts of it aren't accurate.

"John Paul Pinette" was an American actor, Broadway performer, and stand-up comedian. He toured the comedy club circuit beginning in the 1980s and appeared in cinema and on television. Besides stand-up, Pinette did impressions of Alvin and the Chipmunks/The Chipmunks, Elvis Presley, Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, Hervé Villechaize (Tattoo from Fantasy Island), an Ewok, actor Marlon Brando (notably Brando's role in The Godfather), as well as various ethnic accents. He occasionally sang, for example "Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)/The Wizard of Oz, and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" in stand-up routines.
