Overall an average film at best. I think they left out all kinds of tidbits concerning the last few years of his life. Acting was fairly solid and the guy that played Michael was pretty good. Story could have been deeper though. Anyway would I recommend it? Meh... Take it or leave it.
Thought that this was going to be another one of those "let's trash the legend" stories but was pleasantly surprised at how good this poignant portrayal was told through the eyes of Michael Jackson's security guards.
It shows a sometimes naïve man who is a prisoner of his own celebrity, someone who goes to bizarre lengths to protect his children.
Both joyful and sad, this movie of the last years of Michael's life is well worth a view and not just for for Michael Jackson fans.
messy, uneven, poorly edited, at times laughable. honestly I don't know why people are rating this so highly, everything in this film is basic TV Movie fodder especially the script. A subject about MJ should be taken seriously, as it was to a point, but the poor script, the poor direction, and acting from so many actors that I can't really put the fault on them solely, they did after all show up to work! But this actor who plays MJ, Navi, must only work as a MJ impersonator, and not a good one at that, as every time he spoke, his English accent broke through distracting us. Its not his fault either, he ONLY does MJ and can't actually act. This is shocking as England is a place that has amazing talented actors in every show able to do any accent convincingly. Not so here. The production also is at fault, having literally nothing to work with, especially MJ's music, and really only afforded Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative". The editing was literally all over the place, one moment we're sad and stressed then CUT right to the family at a go cart track. I'm not going to give this high marks like everyone else who thought this was an amazing film, they are all misguided. They miss MJ, that's why they rate this so highly. I feel a documentary based on these security guys are what is needed, not a sappy TV movie.
Also, WTF was MJ doing on a 'date' with some girl and couldn't go out into a bar? seriously? so many scenes like that were in the film that take you out of the story its pointless.

This was by far the best documentary film about Michael Jackson yet! The story was phenomenal! It made be start to draw a tear in my eye when I saw Navi as Michael Jackson for the first time. It made me feel like Michael really is back but at the same time he wasn't :-( There was a lot of great acting in it! The kids however, that took the role to play as Prince, Paris, and Blanket did a wonderful job! I literally cried at the end of the film. It was such a great movie that I'd like to give it more than ten stars, more like ten million stars!
This TV movie provides a great insight of the unknown years of Michael Jackson's life, great watch highly recommend
