Critics Consensus

Its unabashedly positive tone may strike some viewers as disingenuous, but even if Supermensch doesn't tell the whole story, it's an undeniably entertaining one.

Soon, however, it becomes heavily tinged with melancholy about Gordon's unfulfilled dream of having a family of his own. Interesting guy.

This documentary portrait by Mike Myers (of Wayne's World and Austen Powers fame) of his friend Shep Gordon comes close to hagiography but is just about saved by great anecdotes, stylistic inventiveness and the low-key charm of the man himself.

3/5

He's splendidly charismatic company, as his A-list roster attests en masse.

4/5

Never outstaying its welcome, Supermensch is akin to spending a hour and half in the presence of a true raconteur.

Good Documentary on Shep Gordon. He comes off as kind of arrogant at times, but how can you not when you have so much going for you.
