'Michael' Review: A hollow informercial packaged as a biopic of the King of Pop
The King of Pop is back from the dead to play the greatest hits. And that's about it.
"Michael" is the first of a two-part biopic of the late music icon Michael Jackson. And it's truly a family affair. Not only was it produced by the Michael Jackson estate, all of his siblings are listed as executive producers (minus Janet Jackson — due to pre-existing drama with the estate — she doesn't even appear in the film!) and his own nephew Jaafar (son of Jermaine Jackson) was cast to play the "Man in the Mirror" himself.
