Movie Review: This Is It

This Is It, the behind-the-scenes story of Michael Jackson’s life off-stage shows insight into the normal guy hidden away inside the pop legend. In some ways, maybe directing his own choreographers and pianist and having cameramen take videos of people just chewing bubble gum and eating lollipops could be considered not-so-normal to some.

The film does what it can to make the King of Pop seem as normal as possible, however. His humility in the film does go to the heart-warming extent giving guitarists their moments on stage and inadvertently furthering their careers.

Fans of Michael Jackson will enjoy video remakes of some of the King of Pop’s hits such as: Earth Child and the infamous Thriller. Number two in the box office in its second week, I’d give This Is It a 3.5/5. Rated PG
