So sad to see this actor go down the path of so many other child actors, leeching from fame to the lowest levels of personal demise. But this attempt by filmmakers to document his spiral and eventual success at reversing his misfortune is really two documentaries smooshed together. The first doc is your typical "actor on a chair" reminiscing about the onset decisions and shenanigans from the 1986 production; while the second doc feels and even looks different, which follows the lead around later in his life, often recounting his darkest days and pointing out the many curbs and garbage cans upon which he sat.
All in all - It is a bit disjointed, but still a loving tribute to a man who pulled himself from the abyss. I won't look at Navigator the same way again. If only he could time travel ...

Longer than the movie!
Wow
Wow I just loved this so much! The nostalgia was heartwarming. Sad to hear of how Joeys life turned out but it's never too late to make a change like he says and I'm so glad he's doing better, such a sweet soul and very funny guy! I didn't realise he was in The Neverending Story!! Hope to see Joey in more projects
Such a beautiful soul
Joey is a truly soulful individual and after you see this you just root for him. The guy has a drug problem but he is stronger than a majority of the people you know. Go Joey!! Next time i hear your name I hope it is you doing a movie or something that makes you happy.
