    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, All Movie Guide

    September 05, 2009: Great movie for any and all Jackson fans, entertaining, inspirational, and loaded with great Jackson hits. I recommend this movie for anyone who wants to know how the Jackson's got their start to Mega-stardom. I enjoyed many hours of watching this movie as I viewed it 3 times when I received it.
