The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story

I had no clue how much of a scam artist Lou Pearlman was. I always assumed he just dealt with music. It was a very sad story. It was put together really well.

Found it very interesting and appealing. Didn't know so much about the back story of those two popular bands (and of the other ones) until now. Know I guess I'm a bit more knowledgeable about this :). Oh, and I finally know why the "Bye Bye Bye" song is titled this way. Cool documentary, with great insights, after all.

At some point you get the feeling one of his artist must have produced this and low and behold....Lance Bass. Well, what was mentioned very quickly was that Mr. Pearlman Bought a talent agency (who he un knowingly) was under investigation and that when the FBI starts spying on him etc. Because he bought a company that had a bad track record.

I enjoyed it, the story was cohesive, there was a diverse group of people talking about what happened, it kept me engaged. This things need to be told so everybody can protect themselves in this kind of situation.

"The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story" is a bittersweet and frustrating film that will either get you to feel bad for Lou Pearlman or make your blood boil. . In this documentary, a look at the rise and fall of boy band manager Lou Pearlman, who not only discovered NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, but set up one of the largest ponzi schemes ever. . After hearing about this story years ago, I thought it was smart to make a doc about the situation. Lou Pearlman was one of those guys you couldn't hate but deep down a twisted individual. I enjoyed this film and I think it covered most of the ground you'd be interested in hearing about. I did think it was repetitive at times but none the less captivating.
