ROCKETMAN What’s it rated? R What’s it worth? Full price Where’s it showing? Parks Plaza Dexter Fletcher (Wild Bill, Sunshine on Leith, Eddie PICK the Eagle) directs “a musical fantasy about the fantastical human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years,” with Taron Egerton in the lead role as the singer of “Rocket 41 Man,” “Your Song,” “Daniel,” and dozens of other hits. Written for the screen by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot, War Horse, Victoria & Abdul), this loosely accurate biopic is constructed with an interesting frame. We start with Elton—née Reginald “Reggie” Dwight—walking into an AA meeting in full stage costume, where he introduces himself as Elton Hercules John, an alcoholic, sexoholic, and cocaine and pill addict. He proceeds to chronicle through flashback his troubled childhood (Matthew Illesley), adolescence (Kit Connor), and his rise to fame, as well TOYS TO THE RESCUE: Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) and Bo Peep (voiced by Anne Potts) reunite as his subsequent descent into addiction. It’s an impression of Elton’s life.
