Summary: A biographical history of the Jackson Five music story!
Review: Film traces the early days of the sixties and seventies with Michael, Tito, Randy and Jermaine Jackson's music career on how they formed together under the influence by their father Joe who was very abusive and rough also to hard on his children as musicians. Cause theyneeded a manager for touring and contract of recording albums by Motown studios under president Berry Gordy. It's very indepth and to get a retrospective view on how they formed as a singing duo pop sensation played by all of these black child actors who actually did a great job portraying every Jackson brother in it's family!

Review: Great story line and music. But, I would have like to have some behind the scene footage. I had originally taped it from WABC in 1992 on my VCR, and was pleased when it was released in this format.

Summary: good effort
Review: I can honestly say I think I've seen this movie more than... ANYONE. Well maybe not more than anyone, but definately more than anyone who doesn't own the movie should. I mean it came out when I was really little, but even then, I loved it. I seriously watch it everytime it comes on any TV station. If it comes on 3 in a row, I watch it all 3 days. And i can recite lines from it. I mean who can forget the infamous towel in the pool scene? But this movie is VERY entertaining, and is by far one of the best made for TV mini series about celebrities that I have seen.

Summary: Nicely done
Review: I liked this movie. Much better than some of the other movies about stars from that era. Like the Osmonds, Partridge Family, and Brady Bunch. ... This one however, had more time to go into the WHOLE story with 6 hour play time instead of just 2. I thought the actor who< did Joseph did well. If the movie is a true depiction of Joseph Jackson, he's not that abusive, just strict for those times. Would be considered abusive for this "time out for brats" era. I loved the little guy who played the little Michael. Wonder where he is now. Was that really him singing. He was so cute! Was that Jermaine's son who played the young Jermaine. Looked just like him and just did a wonderful job. The oldest Jermaine was a terrible actor. The only Marlon I liked was the youngest one. The other two were casted terribly and he wasn't that ugly! They did a wonderful job casting Tito on all the ages. Those actors did a great job. The youngest Jackie was believable but not the other one. Vanessa Williams did a great job too. The two older Michaels, I don't think were as good as the first little guy but I guess were acceptable. The oldest ones voice was too deep, and he was skinny enough to be Michael. Did an alright job dancing though. The middle Michael sung well, but wasn't near as cute as the REal Michael Jackson was and not near of good dancer.
