Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland

Thought that this was going to be another one of those "let's trash the legend" stories but was pleasantly surprised at how good this poignant portrayal was told through the eyes of Michael Jackson's security guards. It shows a sometimes naïve man who is a prisoner of his own celebrity, someone who goes to bizarre lengths to protect his children. Both joyful and sad, this movie of the last years of Michael's life is well worth a view and not just for for Michael Jackson fans.

I liked this movie, it was nice to see life behind the cameras, gossip and numerous trials and accusations. Navi looks like MJ in certain shots and honestly portrays him but his accent was like "huh"..... is that a British accent??? Other than that Navi was great, this is a difficult person to portray many layers to this magnificent person, Navi does embrace all of MJ, A job well done by Navi. I recommend this movie but it saddens me that MJ filled our life's with music and heart and he was unable to enjoy the simple acts of life with his children. He was a prisoner of his home unable to do anything to go anywhere, so sad. MJ is one of most loved, respected artists and will always be remembered.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Navi was outstanding in his acting debut as Michael and was more realistic than many others I've seen in other documentaries etc. The story line was great. It was lovely to see the relationship between Michael and his security. It was also great to see Michaels sense of humour as well as his vulnerability. Navi's portrayal of the vulnerable and upset Michael was touching and brought a tear to my eyes. His relationship with his children was amazing and his protectiveness towards them. I would love to see Hollywood produce a blockbuster movie on MJ now. You have the best actor for the part as his singing and dancing is second to none and it's difficult to tell the difference between Michael and Navi if you are just listening to the track. This film was more of a success for the USA than many others about Michael. You've found your Michael in Navi. Let us all relive the King of Pop through him.

This was by far the best documentary film about Michael Jackson yet! The story was phenomenal! It made be start to draw a tear in my eye when I saw Navi as Michael Jackson for the first time. It made me feel like Michael really is back but at the same time he wasn't :-( There was a lot of great acting in it! The kids however, that took the role to play as Prince, Paris, and Blanket did a wonderful job! I literally cried at the end of the film. It was such a great movie that I'd like to give it more than ten stars, more like ten million stars!

Overall an average film at best. I think they left out all kinds of tidbits concerning the last few years of his life. Acting was fairly solid and the guy that played Michael was pretty good. Story could have been deeper though. Anyway would I recommend it? Meh... Take it or leave it.
