Customer Reviews of The Jacksons - An American Dream (The Complete Miniseries)

Brilliant Flim, Yet good and Bad casting
The Jacksons an American Dream is entertaining MOVIE and well planned with a well thought story. Yet some of the cast wasn't that belivalbe, because some of the kids didn't even look a little bit like the real Jacksons. Even Michael wasn't that well done. the adult one had a deep voice and wasn't skinny enough. And most of all, his nose was too big. couldn't the casting crew just find an MJ inpersonator.The 2nd Micheal was great though. Like a clone. But the Jermaine was not anything like the real thing. He wasn't even that good looking. Yet kathrine was done well by Angela Basset and Joseph played by Laurence. Sussane De Passe was played by Vennessa Williams perfect as a picture. Despite some of the casting, the movie is brilliant,with, fun yet emotinal lerning things you never thought you would know about talened yet troubled Jackson Family!The movie also features some of your favorite classic hits from I Want You Back, ABC, I'll Be There, even Bilie Jean and Beat It Showing hoe MJ became the KING OF POP! If you haven't seen it, SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!

Wonderful video!
I remember seeing this movie being advertised on ABC a few years ago, and then, I didn't want to see it. I had heard so many things about Joseph Jackson and what a horrible person he was, I wasn't sure if I could take seeing him being portrayed. I don't know what made me change my mind, but I watched the whole thing and ended up recording it! The whole movie is great, and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs does a very believable job of portraying Joseph, as does Angela Bassett for Katherine. Some very cute parts are in the movie, such as the pillow fights in the hotel, and the part where Michael and Marlon are huddled under the bed while Jermaine has a visitor in the room with him. I was partial to Jason Weaver, but even more to the adult Jermaine. I can't pick and choose who were the best in this movie, because all parts were played very well.

Some parts, however, I'm not sure on their accuracy. For example, the part where it's insinuated that Joseph was having an affair with Suzanne DePasse? Did that really happen or was it added for dramatic purposes? The movie never quite touced on Michael's skin disorder, either. He was concerned about what looked like pimples on his face, and then that was it.

For me, the highlight of the entire movie was at the end when they performed "The Love You Save", from what I assume was their Victory Tour. (Forgive me if this is wrong) Did they lip-sync this?! It was wonderful! Absolutely amazing. I can't tell you how many times I watched and re-watched the last performance. Any parts with Jason Weaver singing were wonderful too. This film is great, and I would recommend it to anyone, whether you're a fan or not.

great film, the people that play Micheal are amazing!
This is an amazing mini seris! It's the perfect gift for any Jackson fan! The people that play Micheal are awesome and could pass for the real Micheal Jackson! I must also give credit to the person that played the father because that is a starnge and power person and he made the character even more amazing. The rest of the cast was cute and good! But I am just so amazed by the person that plays Micheal in 1976- 1983 that was one of the best parts of the movie but the best of best part of the movie is when Micheal performs "Billie Jean" is amazing and is actually like Micheal did it. Please see this movie you won't regret it!
