Summary: Wonderful video!
Review: I remember seeing this movie being advertised on ABC a few years ago, and then, I didn't want to see it. I had heard so many things about Joseph Jackson and what a horrible person he was, I wasn't sure if I could take seeing him being portrayed. I don't know what made me change my mind, but I watched the whole thing and ended up recording it! The whole movie is great, and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs does a very believable job of portraying Joseph, as does Angela Bassett for Katherine. Some very cute parts are in the movie, such as the pillow fights in the hotel, and the part where Michael and Marlon are huddled under the bed while Jermaine has a visitor in the room with him. I was partial to Jason Weaver, but even more to the adult Jermaine. I can't pick and choose who were the best in this movie, because all parts were played very well.

Some parts, however, I'm not sure on their accuracy. For example, the part where it's insinuated that Joseph was having an affair with Suzanne DePasse? Did that really happen or was it added for dramatic purposes? The movie never quite touced on Michael's skin disorder, either. He was concerned about what looked like pimples on his face, and then that was it.

For me, the highlight of the entire movie was at the end when they performed "The Love You Save", from what I assume was their Victory Tour. (Forgive me if this is wrong) Did they lip-sync this?! It was wonderful! Absolutely amazing. I can't tell you how many times I watched and re-watched the last performance. Any parts with Jason Weaver singing were wonderful too. This film is great, and I would recommend it to anyone, whether you're a fan or not.

Summary: MARLON GETS THE BUTT-WHUPPIN' OF A LIFETIME!
Review: In one early scene, Marlon screws up on a dance number, and Joe gets very angry at him. As a punishment, he has to go out and pick a switch to get the butt-whuppin' of a lifetime. When he comes back in, his shirt is off, and Joe's a busy beatin' him until his back is red. He's crying and screamin', "DADDY, WHAT DID I DO?", while his brothers look on. Please see this scene, it's funny!

Summary: I'm just a Jackson Fanatic
Review: So you know that I'm only going to give this movie 5 stars, I am such a big fan it's ridiculous. I've seen this movie over and over and over and over again until I knew word by word and line by line, I haven't watched in a few years, I can catch it on VH1 all the time, but to have it on video is just fabulous. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a must for Jackson fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The actor who played the oldest MICHAEL
Review: Someone here asked about him, and his name is Wylie Draper. The movie was released in 1992, and sadly, Wylie died in 1993. He had leukemia.
