I need to say something of extreme importance before I get to this review.
There are two rules everyone needs to follow when going to the movies.
Rule #1. When the reminder to shut off your phone goes on the screen TURN OFF YOUR PHONE!!!
Rule #2. If you bring a child, evaluate them before bringing them to the movies. Ask yourself questions like "Is this kid mature enough to sit in one spot for two hours? Is this child too hyper to sit in one spot for two hours?" And finally "Does my child understand that talking during a movie is very disrupting to other people?"
You can infer why I bring this up. In a theater of approx. 12 people including myself, 4 people broke these rules. Two used their cell phones AND they went off during the movie and someone had a maniac kid who was running around and screaming in spanish.
I wanted to put an ambien (or at least a ritalin) in his popcorn.
Anyway now that I have vented, here is my review:
Title: Michael Jackson's This Is It
Genre: Documentry (and musical too I guess)
MPAA Rating: PG
Summary: This Is It is a collection of behind the scenes footage and rehearsals of Michael Jackson's suddenly cancelled This Is It concert series.
Review: If you wanted tickets to ome of the concerts this is probably as close to the real thing as you can get. I especially liked this film for two reasons. Reason number one: there was no negativity involved what so ever. There was not one meantion of the words dead, death, or die. This was a celebration of the King of Pop's origanality and greatness. Reason number two: kids my age can appreciate this too. Everyone my age didn't grow up with M.J.'s music like our parents did. After watching this documentry I respected Michael Jackson for how devoted to his work and how talented he was. I personally feel there could've been more people being interviewed and talking about Michael and maybe one or two less songs (there were 24 in all).
It was a pretty good film and kids my age can appreciate it as well. MAKE SURE YOU SEE IT BEFORE THANNKSGIVING OTHERWISE IT'LL BE GONE!!!
