Made to capitalize on the media circus surrounding Jackson's 2004 child molestation trial, VH1 released it a month before it began.A Spiritual Successor to the 1992 miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream, the movie picks up where the miniseries left off and focuses on Jackson (portrayed by Flex Alexander) from his peak during the Thriller era to the 2004 "People V. Jackson" trial that had just begun when the film originally aired.While the film had good intentions, critics and fans alike panned the film for its unflattering depiction of the King of Pop, and the man himself released a statement denouncing it. Conversely, Flex Alexander's portrayal as Jackson was mostly praised, and earned him an NAACP Image award nomination.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Foregone Conclusion: It's common knowledge that Michael Jackson eventually went to court over his child molestation accusations. What wasn't known at the time of filming was what the verdict would be.

Artistic License – History: The movie shows the infamous baby dangling incident happening in 2003 around the same time as the Living With Michael Jackson documentary. Said incident actually happened in 2002, a year earlier. Michael remains black for the majority of the movie until he gets married to Debbie Rowe in 1996, despite being diagnosed with vitiligo early on. In reality, Jackson's lightening skin tone first became noticeable in the mid-80s and he had lost virtually all his pigment by 1992.

Biopic: But unlike An American Dream, it did not receive Michael Jackson's blessing or authorization.
