The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story

The other reviews here are odd. I found this documentary to be informative and super interesting. Obviously it is going to be a little biased, like every documentary is. However, it is also obvious that this is not just a shot at revenge for the boy banders that speak, but more of a warning. Plus, the scope of the fraudulent activities go way past just the boy bands and are well covered and explained within the film. I was left wondering if I had missed something at some points but overall it was well worth watching. These kinds of stories are fascinating to me because they are things you would think everyone should know about, yet until a documentary like this comes out most people are oblivious and there are lots of life lessons to be learned in events like these.

At some point you get the feeling one of his artist must have produced this and low and behold....Lance Bass. Well, what was mentioned very quickly was that Mr. Pearlman Bought a talent agency (who he un knowingly) was under investigation and that when the FBI starts spying on him etc. Because he bought a company that had a bad track record.

Even though I'm not necessarily a fan of the bands I do enjoy a good music documentary and this is one of the better music documentaries I've seen lately. Very informative and has a great behind-the-scenes feel to it. Definitely worth a watch either if you like the fans or just for a good music documentary.

I thought this was done really well from start to finish.Be nice to have few more of Back Street Boys and N sync with opinions even if phoned in on camera from other destinations. After older people got duped in business with Lou. I feel sad how much life have left in them. Aaron Carter, I don't get the stupidity of his words and believe. The other bands after the great two parted ways in very public fight. Puzzling to one, how much wants band fame and pay, so still signed with this lunatic. Those are incidents that they could have stopped but didn't. So I have little tears for that middle story piece.

This deserved better than YouTube show, but maybe rights and showing move to other carriers after contract done or side deals made from start. 7/10 PS.I wonder if Lou was the paperboy when in jail?

Most written here was common knowledge before doc and what i wrote so i see no spoilers given out.

I had no clue how much of a scam artist Lou Pearlman was. I always assumed he just dealt with music. It was a very sad story. It was put together really well.
