I love this movie and wanted my kids to fall in love with it as well. This review is not based on the movie but on the rental. I paid to rent this movie and the movie kept buffering and skipping ONLINE, i didn't know that was possible, NO it was not my internet connection because our Netflix and YouTube works great online. After 30 minutes, YES 30 mins of tiring to let the buffering of the movie catch up and rewinding the movie, my kids and i just had given up. What a complete waste of money spent online! Now this will be a memory of a paid movie that we didn't get to see. We even had popcorn at home and snacks ready, as i told them this would be a movie they would for sure enjoy. SO NO MORE GOOGLE PLAY MOVIE BUYS FROM ME/OUR FAMILY ANYMORE!!!!!!!

I really did not enjoy this...to be truthful, I only finished it because I paid good money. Honestly...what the hell. Terrible singing and songs...minus when MJ has a part, his voice is just phenomenal but the rest is, well, awful. I'm glad this has brought joy to so many but I am certainly not one of them. Top 5 worst films I've ever seen.

The 1st time I watched this it was okay (and it still is) but after being forced to watch this 4 or 5 times from elementary school to high school (and seeing it on TV), I can't stand watching this movie anymore and thought of it gets on my nerves. I wouldn't watch it again if given the chance though.
