I choose to pass on it when they had Flex as Jackson WTF? He doesn't come close to fooling me that he has any qualities/characteristics to play MJ. You might as well get Dave Chapple to play MJ at least that way I know he's not suppose to look like MJ and it would be part of the joke.

My wife was watching some of it and I caught about a minute of it, when Liz Taylor was visiting Jacko. Neither actor looked or sounded like the people they were playing and the dialogue was just terrible. I have no plans to watch the rest of this.

I believe it's going to re-air at 9pm tonight and tomorrow night on VHI. I read a few articles that said this was a pro-Michael film. I don't know if some editing was done or not but the film shows him as an insane, control freak, with no grip on reality. I guess MJ's career has gotten to the point that any film that doesn't come out and say he's guilty would be pro-Michael.

Love the music soundtrack on this flick. We get to hear nothing but generic muzak while the lead actor dances in slow motion.
I agree that the acting is horrid in this flick. The intercutting of stock news footage is likewise cheesy.

Really dumb television movie. What was the budget? $5?
The part where he is in his theatre room watching the documentary with the kids was extremely laughable.
"Shhh. Be quiet. Shh. Shhh. Okay be quiet."
Then the bombshell about liking children is said.
"Turn it off! Turn it off! Okay get out kids. Go Paris get out."

Bad casting and dialogue aside, I also felt that the movie really glossed over too much. I felt like I was channel surfing during this movie, missing parts of it, only the thing was that I actually sat and watched the entire thing and didn't miss a thing. The gaps in the story were actually intentional, I suppose.
Really awful. The worst of VH1's original movies.

"Let's not forget todays date...Oh look it's after midnite...The date is September the 11th, 2001!"
Oy vey! This movie was hilarious!!!
"He's like a blanket...A blanket of love! That's why we call him that!"
"The truth is a bitch...And the bitch hurts."
"Hey dad! Michael and I just celebrated our 30th anniversary! 30 sleepovers in my room!" <---- An actual line from the movie!!!

This thing is great! It's beat my favorite VH-1 movie "The MC Hammer Story" for cheesy-ness and I never thought that would be possible. I hope Video Hits One keeps churning out these god awful flicks.

I finally watched it earlier today because I wanted to see what everyone was talking about. This movie is the funniest piece of shit I've seen a long time. Whoever played MJ deserves to be executed on live television.
