DVD Reviews of The Jacksons - An American Dream (The Complete Miniseries)

DVD Review: Good But Could Have Been A Bit Better
Summary: 3 Stars

The Jacksons: An American Dream along with The Five Heartbeats and The Tempations is one of my favorite male R&B group musical movies. The casting was excllent but the film does have some flaws.The film could have went into more detail about the fellas and it would have been great to hear Find Me A Girl,Daddy's Home and Rock With You.

DVD Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this item for my son and he loves it, it was in good condition when I received it. My son is a Michael Jacksons fan so he watches it all the time!

This movie is so long, but it is so entertaining!! The acting is great and so is the music. Even if you don't like Michael Jackson, this movie will still entertain you

Description of The Jacksons - An American Dream (The Complete Miniseries)

The miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream begins in the 1940s, when Joseph Jackson (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) and Katherine (Angela Bassett) meet and fall in love, and ends in the 1980s, when their sons reunite for the 1983 Victory Tour that brought them back together as the Jacksons. During the first part, "The Early Years," the couple starts a family, and although times are tough, Joseph still finds time to play music on the side. When he discovers that his sons have inherited the same talent, the Jackson 5 are born. They sign with Motown and start churning out the gold records. The second part, "The Success Years," begins in 1970 at the peak of their fame, but by 1976, the hits have started to dry up. If the acting is uneven and the story somewhat sanitized, Bassett is affecting, and the series includes Emmy-winning choreography and a combination of original and re-created material, ranging from "I Want You Back" (1969) to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (from 1982's multi-platinum Thriller). --Kathleen C. Fennessy
