Garry A This was good. It's a more authentic, sympathetic take on their story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Dean Burrito O Just a good ole bromance about hanging out with ya bestie and things get a little carried away. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review J S Unfortunately for people my age (a geriatric millennial) or older, there is not much new info to be gleaned from the documentary. It is mostly a rehash of "Behind the Music" including using all the same old music critics (I guess it's nice to see where they are now, too..). There could have been some interesting discussions to be had regarding how now pretty much every musician lip syncs at least when performing live (what first got them in trouble: "girl you know its girl you know its girl you know its.." ) and also the rise of autotune etc, and so in this respect people were too harsh on them, but that is barely touched on. I understand the reason behind that is to make the producer (who is a bad person) look more monstrous and not simply someone banal and slightly ahead of his time, and fair enough, but again, the result is an angle that we've already seen on VH1 years ago. (speaking of, I did not like how the music critics acted like Boney M was successful in America.. that's quite disingenuous. I think their only song to at all make the charts [and quite low] in the US was Sunny, and the only reason we know about Rasputin is because it became a meme on youtube.. which they completely ignore and act like everyone Worldwide knew of it at the time, when really it was only a hit in Europe, maybe even only Eastern Europe..) On top of that, what would have really been interesting would have been to see Fab actually learn how to sing and generally improve his life.. again, it's touched on, but very briefly. Actually following him learning to sing in real time would have been a much more compelling documentary. As such, the end where you get to see him actually singing the Milli Vanilli song incredibly well is very inspiring and a great twist ending, but as a whole the documentary would have been even better if this "redemption" and self improvement was more the focus, rather than tacked on to Behind the Music 2.0. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Donnie S Fantastic documentary. Beautifully told and shot. It sucks that a lot of these stories end this way. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Ron B It's a fantastic documentary. What they did to those guys was absolutely terrible. How anyone can do that to another person is beyond comprehension. Fab is a great guy that really has been able to over come a lot. If you grew up around this time frame you will appreciate the depth with which they cover this story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Sean M Incredible doco about a story I thought I knew. It really creates empathy for the pair, who above anything else, just wanted to make it. Yes, they were talented but made a pact with the devil.
