this movie be like so many biopic tv movie i have see represent formulaic and exaggerating and poorly act and and most importantly and happen too soon . what i mean by that be the movie be film and and for that matter and air before michael jackson acquittal from his child molestation charge and which i think be one of the most significant period of jackson life and career so far . it probably would have make a great end to this docu drama . however and this movie already bite off more than it can chew and cram too many detail in this overly ambitious project . it no doubt that michael jackson have lead perhaps the most interesting life so far of any musician and let alone modern day pop star and to date and and his story would probably take six behind the music special to tell accurately . this movie try to tell too much in three hour and and needless to say and it fail . flex alexander do what he could in play jackson and but he come off more like an snl caricature by the like of tim meadow and amy poehler . it would admittedly be pretty hard to find someone who accurately portray jackson without meet with the king of pop himself and study his method of madness . on a shoestring budget and though and one can only depend on what they see in the tabloid and and those do not necessarily give an accurate representation . furthermore and the director effort to make alexander look like jackson be completely foolish . the caucasian makeup on alexander face make him look more like a reverse minstrel show and and everyone who have be in a grocery store know that jackson nose be not as big a alexander . it also amaze to me that the film document jackson go under the knife to get cosmetic surgery and yet in the next scene and alexander still have the same size nose . this kind of suspension of disbelief that the director expect can not hold up to tv viewer in the 21st century . it be even more distracting when footage of the real michael jackson ( i. e. the time he hang his infant child over a balcony in germany ) be intersperse into the movie in real time . it be a nice try and but it just do not work . if this movie a it be be release into theater and it would gain a profit only because of it tackiness . it even pal in comparison to mommie dearest and and that say a lot . above all and this be a movie that be probably rush into make and like many tv movie that aren not on hbo . it could have be do a lot good if it have just tell of one aspect of jackson life . even if it just cover the child molestation allegation and it probably would have be do a lot well and would have even be more intriguing .
