Mike Myers’s directorial debut is a witty, soulful tribute to Hollywood legend and mega-manager Shep Gordon. The pair met during production on Wayne’s World, when Myers entered into negotiations with Gordon over the use of an Alice Cooper song. They’ve been friends ever since. In fact, Gordon has become friends with most of his celebrity clients. Along with Cooper, he’s managed the careers of numerous musicians, ranging from Blondie to Teddy Pendergrass, and his own eclectic career includes producing films and jumpstarting the television “celebrity chef” phenomenon, making Emeril Lagasse and other culinary stars household names. While each story in Supermensch is wilder than the last, there’s a whole other story to tell—of Gordon’s decency and generosity, loyalty and compassion. He’s a Jewish Buddhist and a friend of the Dalai Lama. His home on Maui has an open-door policy, and folks from Sylvester Stallone to Tom Arnold to Michael Douglass talk about him like he’s family. This romp through Gordon’s career is much more than a catalogue of impressive achievements; it’s a testament to the steadfast qualities of a man who happens to have a heart that’s as big as his outsized personality.  ST
