Dont Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey

A terrific, articulate film
I used to like Journey. Now I love them, after watching this documentary. I love the way the band members respect and protect Arnel. How they all matured over the years. I love that Arnel reflects all that's good in the Filipino culture: kindness, self-effacing, seeing the positive in every situation. The film even got me interested in the band's earlier history with Steve Perry. And then there's Arnel's voice! His singing gives me goose bumps! It's an articulate, well-made documentary. There isn't one wasted frame.

If your a hater then don't read this review!
I don't understand the reviews on here that say Arnel is 'exploited.' How? He's singing, which he clearly loves to do, and he's making money and no longer living in the slumbs of Manilla in 4 feet of water on days it rains. He is taking care of his family and keeping the band alive and thriving. Was he hired because he sounds like Steve Perry? Yes. So what. He can sing and he's humble and likeable. What's the problem? This is a great documentary although I was disapointed that they glossed over the Perry years rather quickly but I guess, by the title, this is primarily Arnel's story and not the 40 year history of Journey. Anyone who gives this documentary a negative review are simple haters and nothing more. Would you rather the band not be around? Perry is not coming back. If he were he would've been back 10 YEARS ago! Move on. Go Arnel!

Inspiring rags to riches story, a true fairy tale
As a huge fan of Journey and now of Arnel Pineda I was looking forward to watching the back story of his journey no pun intended. Arnel is infectious on screen, he exudes warmth and spirit as well as showing his fears & vulnerability. I love seeing the glimpse of the love between Arnel & his wife Cherry. If you love Journey music, history & a true life Cinderella story then you will love & fall in love with Arnel and this movie.
