spencer p A slight peek at the lives, whether raised in or adopted into, of beloved child stars and the delights and costs of fame at a young age. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review wayne m Showbiz Kids is a thoughtful, detailed look into the lives of child acting stars. With good interviews with people like Todd Bridges, Evan Rachel Wood, Will Wheaton and many more we get a glimpse into a life that most of us can never experience. This doco nicely shows us the different life style, the pitfalls of fame and also sadly the abuse that some are subjected to into this way of life. Very worthwhile documentary. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review michael d Could've done without the reality TV element. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great premise, but with the title "Showbiz Kids" certain Showbiz Kids come to mind. Those kids however are not subjects interviewed or discussed in the film. The people in this documentary felt like they would have been better served with a docu-series to thoughtfully examine their unique stories as opposed to clustering them together in an effort to highlight cliche themes that have/are continuously explored in a variety of different mediums rendering this documentary as a promising idea that could have been executed a bit better. The documentary is at its best when it does center in on the unique stories from Evan Rachel Wood, Will Wheaton, Mara Wilson, and Henry Thomas. It functions as a pretty good casual stream, but lacks the premium quality HBO is typically known for. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
