In the wake of the death of Michael Jackson, I came to love this movie even more. The acting was fantastic, especially Wylie Draper's, who played the King of Pop from 1976 to 1983 (I was shocked to learn this brilliant actor passed away a year after the movie was released). He captured Michael's sensitivity and electrifying stage presence with perfection. His dance moves during Billie Jean were pretty close to Michael's own, not to mention the other parts where he also delivered a shinning performance. I only wish they had shown more of Michael during that era so that we could have seen more of Wylie. Despite the chronological errors, this movie deserves a thumbs up! I highly recommend it to all Jackson 5/Michael Jackson fans out there. Great acting, great music, great set design. And the chemistry amongst the actors was amazing. Too bad a lot of movies aren't made like that.
