Watch Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story For Free

Don't Believe the Hype

Admirable film.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

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!

when I first started to watch this movie i really started to like it, it showed that Michael Jackson had no child hood and had a father that was pretty hard on him. then later in his life he was accused of child abuse, because of this he lost a lot of fans.(as you all probably know by know) i believe Michael Jackson and would support him in his defense( if i could) however another thing i liked about this film is that they showed that they didn't make this film because for people to believe Micheal Jackson.the one thing that i did not like about this film is that i never really had an end. there was a problem(Jacksons father) then it was sovoled (moving to never land) then there was another problem( the child abuse) then there was another problem (Jacksons wife) then it sorta just needed right there. well they did have a nice scene at the end when Michael is on top of his car. so then we go back to the summary 'what is wrong with this movie?'is it the fact that it never had an end?? or is it the fact that it was too long or too short??in my opinion this is a very good movie for its genre and it almost feels a little bit more respectful to like it."you don't use the media, the media uses you"

Despite my distaste for "Wacko Jacko" whom I consider a symbol of American decadence, this nevertheless was a very well done film. It seemed factually correct. The guy who played Jackson had him down just about perfectly, in sound, in body language and even appearance. Most of the others were good too, especially the portrayal of Johnny Cochrane. However Elizabeth Taylor was bad burlesque. The film moves a little too quickly and at times the camera work is frenetic and distracting. But I found it to be both factual and entertaining. However the verdict and the disposition of the Jackson trial should at least be shown in the closing credits of more recent prints of the picture.''
