The Jacksons: An American Dream (1992)
Member Rating:  
A two-part made for TV effort, this special depicts the dysfunctional Jackson family, which has somehow managed to raise its children in such a way that they have managed to rise above their steel town backgrounds to the tops of the charts in the music field. Though obviously not delving into the more controversial and sensational aspects of their lives, this story is a somewhat rose-colored but still interesting pictorial history of the exceptional musical family. If nothing else, worth watching for the incredible music and choreography. ~ Tana Hobart, Rovi

There is never a dull moment in this mini- series. Even if you are not a true fan you are sure to be entertained. Following the life and times of the King of Pop and his family as they rise to fame and fortune. Jermaine Jackson had a lot of input on this, so at least in his eyes this is as true as it gets.

Amazingly well-cast. At times, I couldn't tell if a scene was being reenacted or if it's video footage of the real Jacksons in concert. Awesome detail in the choreography. Wish it could've been longer though.

Well done movie. It gives you an inside view of what it was like to be famous while growing up. It looks easy form the outside but on the inside one can see much was sacrificed for them to be successful.
