Milli Vanilli, de la gloire au cauchemar

I LOVED this film! I was a huge MV fan back in the day. I didn't even really care about the scandal... I just loved their songs (I have their second album on CD by "The Real MIlli Vanilli" called "The Moment of Truth," which also has some banger songs on it).

I thought all the actors were terrific, especially the guy who played Farian, and it was good seeing Brad Howell and John Davis get the spotlight. I like that the characters occassionally broke the 4th wall, but not too much.

I enjoyed this so much. I was tapping my foot throughout. Damn, they don't make music like this anymore! R. I. P. Rob Pilatus, John Davis and Frank Farian!

First of all let's appreciate the actors! Good cast, good work with them, it worked out well. Then again I was not expecting that it would be bad either, both men favor real life Rob and Fab.

The character who portrays Frank is also a good actor as well. I almost felt that I was right there as the events were taking place.

This movie centers around Milli Vanilli obviously, the story speaks about their chaotic ending in the music industry. Two young men who are blamed for lying about their music and who they were as artist. Yet, it was not just them who played a part in the entire scandal at the end of the day. This film also depicts how shady the music industry can really be!

With this tale, it dives deep with Rob, and why he even had a love for entertaining in the first place , same thing for Fab, both were dancers. Not knowing that later on they would be used as puppets for someone else's work.

Great film, would not mind watching it again. Rest in paradise Rob, you was and still are a great man.

Fascinating music drama about the scandal regarding Milli Vanilli back in the late 1980's early 90's

Though I knew the background to their deception was not aware of the full story which this film does well to tell. Acting of the two guys playing the duo is not award winning but they do have chemistry together.

Thought Matthias Schweighofer was very good as the genius that was Frank Farian, and it was good to hear the music again that made the Germans famous

So definitely worth checking out as all the main players in the saga are given enough air time to understand their contribution to the rise and fall of Milli Vanilli.

For a low-budget music biopic, this film makes a compelling watch in part because the story of Rob and Fab says a great deal about the artifice of the music industry and the fleeting nature of fame. It's absolutely and rightfully sympathetic to its main characters, who got swept into a fraud that got bigger and more elaborate than anyone expected. The performances are excellent, and the director makes some intriguing choices, especially toward the end of the film. Whether you are old enough to remember the scandal or know nothing, it's a film that should keep most viewers engaged. Also, the friendship between Rob and Fab, provides real heart to the story.

All the main actors also look eerily like the real people they are playing, so kudos to the casting director.

I really enjoyed this movie so much, I'm leaving a review 10 minutes after the credits. I remember when Milli Vanili hit the scene when I was in college. Their dance moves were so hot, music so upbeat, their act was so fresh and their international vibe so cool. Who cares if they lip synced, they were entertainers. This movie did a wonderful job explaining their quick, huge ride to the top, and their precipitous hard fall. The actors who portrayed the duo looked like them and did a great job. I had to do a double take at times. The film is very well made. Living in LA, I've seen my share of one hit wonders. This movie is a grim reminder of the cost of fame.

Most memorable is the music. This movie brought back memories of how great their songs were. I really wished they could have made more before the gig was up. 'It's a tragedy to think the dream is over', so apropos.
