Diagonaldi Very well executed

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

katiewon OMG - this is UNWATCHABLE. Words cannot describe it (except Michael's that I quoted above). I love his music, and I can respect what he went through being famous at such a young age, so yeah he has issues - but the way this movie is written and acted it seems the whole purpose was to focus on his dysfunctions in brief snippets that tell us nothing, which is a shame because no one is so one-dimensional. And who is this "Bobby" guy? Useless, that's what he was. I am also a Lisa Marie Presley fan, and the young woman who played her was not even close! Lisa Marie is so much prettier, spunky, and smart - whereas the woman playing her was blah. The first time I saw her I laughed outloud. And yes, the mother has a limp and yet, the woman playing her walks perfectly! Even the most casual MJ/Jackson 5 fan knows that! If the writer, director and actors were simply trying to scam VH1 for a few bucks, in that way they succeeded. Someone should revoke all their writing/directing/acting credentials for this abomination! The Jacksons: An American Dream is far superior.

Ki'era Trent I lived in a house where we glorified Michael Jackson's talents. He had all the moves and he could sing- and Jesus I thought he was so cute when he was young. As for his personal life, I didn't understand him, and a lot of others didn't. I figured he had pain that we were unable to see where it originated, and with that, I was content. I started looking at all his music videos and movies and I just thought he was so great. I still do. I remember watching this at age 14 or 15 and being terrified because.. he seemed psychotic. Mentally off the hinges. Like he was living in a fantasy world. The character was... crazy. There was a looming darkness about him for a part of the movie that made me afraid and scared of him. Not the molestation thing, but his character and mindset. That was not the person I saw when I looked at anything he ever did. And I refuse to believe that this character was who he was. Honestly, five years later, I remember crying and being afraid to watch the rest of it in fear, that it was true.

Richard Paynter Just accidentally caught this on some cheap, free 'cable channel'. Hilarious. If anyone has ever seen Star Stories, the British satire on celebrity, then they will enjoy this appalling attempt at entertainment. For starters, Michael Jackson was about 5'9", not 6'3" as portrayed by the far- too-butch actor Flex Alexander. He was also a creme colour, not green! The producers ought to have solicited the talent of some impersonator. This film made even Jurassic Shark look good, which is saying something. In other words, I highly recommend watching this if you roll in drunk one evening and want a giggle for a bit... BELIEVE!!!!! Shamone!

simba122504 This is pure comedy gold! Here are ten reasons to own or rent this amazing gem.Number 1 is a question: Why is is called "The Michael Jackson Story?"2. The Actor who plays Joe Jackson is hilarious. The woman who played Katherine was too.3. Michael Jackson's skin turns green, not white.4. The Actor who plays James DeBarge is not biracial or fair skinned, he's black.5. This Michael Jackson cannot dance.6. The dialogue is "Bad". 7. The music is very corny. (No MJ songs wereused.) 8. The '90s Janet is in the '80s. (Totally ripping off "Back tothe Future".)9. Michael's kids are Caucasian, just like in real life.10. Makes a great drinking game.I should have given it ten stars for its great god awfulness!
