One of critics complaints it was a sanitized version and didn’t address the pedo scandals. For one those scandals happened in the 90’s and 00’s.
They actually filmed scenes covering at least the first accusations but legally they had to remove those.

There probably will be a sequel movie covering the rest of his life and those scandals probably addressed in those.

His father Joe was a piece of shit, living off his son’s talents, particularly Michael. You can see why Michael ended up the way he did; he literally had no childhood.

Thank you for the review. I want to see it soon. Honestly surprised it took this long to make a film about him. Dude was on top of the music world at one point and has created a lot of timeless music.

Saw Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Slow and too long. 6/10.

Did see Michael today. Awesome movie which keeps you interested the entire time. Jaafar Jackson does an incredible job playing him. Should be performance of year. Everything about him makes you think it is the real Michael even the voice.

I think for the singing parts it a mix of him and Michael.

Watched Uncut Gems recently with Adam Sandler. Wow. A raw look at a gambling addict. Sandler is in rare form in this one and kills this role. Intense movie that involves sports also. Worth a watch.

8/10

Watched Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story recently. Hilarious. If you like funny stuff with John C. Reilly (Stepbrothers, Talladega Nights, etc.) this is perfect for you. Cast overall is really good including Tim Meadows and Kristen Wiig.

7/10

Saw the family movie, Sheep Detective. Nice movie for family and watching those sheep solve their herder’s murder was funny. 8/10.
