Better than the average TV movie, but that doesn't say much., 14 November 1999
4/10

"Come on Get Happy" is better than the average TV movie, but that doesn't say much.It is the tale of the rise and fall of the Partridge Family's real life, and television show. The acting was mediocre, the writing was pretty bad, and technically it wasn't very good either.

I think the only redeeming quality was the factual information in the movie. I am too young to have ever viewed an episode of the Partridge family, even on reruns, so it was interesting to see that. I imagine for older viewers it would be nostalgic, but this would definitely not be on the top of my rental list if it ever is released on video.
