Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

lindajean4044 I became a fan of Nick Carter after watching him in season 21 of Dancing with the Stars. I became a fan of the Backstreet Boys after watching this awesome documentary. They are great guys as well as gifted musicians! Nick talks about his dysfunctional childhood and about his fighting parents and how their behavior deeply hurt him which is very obvious in the scene where he takes the guys back to see the home he grew up in and then visits his old school where he breaks down in tears after his teacher gives him a gift. In this documentary Nick has a shouting/screaming name calling tirade at Brian. I am/was very saddened at Nick's loss of self-control and the hurtful remarks to Brian. Nick was repeating the very same behavior of his parents! I hope when he watched himself in this movie that he recognized that fact.

Sarah Sarah Even though I never followed their career, I was still curious to watch their documentary and was very touched and impressed with how raw, honest and authentic they were in front of the camera.I found it to be very interesting and compelling. They did a great job of putting together all the pieces of their history, as one of the biggest boy bands in the world, as well as each of their own individual story, starting from when they were young boys growing up with dreams of making it big, leading up to their own personal struggles and successes.Whenever someone is able to share their story in a very real and truthful manner, it's bound to reach people from all over the world... No matter if they were fans back in the day, still are or have never heard of them... This documentary shows raw human emotions and everybody can relate to that.So yeah, great job guys!!!

bnbailey-1 Fan of 90s pop music or not, if you are a fan of music in general, this documentary is a must-watch. Behind the fancy dance moves and carefully crafted images we are given in the media, there are real people behind them. People that came from different backgrounds, personal experiences, tragedies, and successes.For the Backstreet Boys, the road to fame was pre-Internet, hard work for years on the road. The documentary shows just how much blood, sweat, and tears went into building up a fan base and how much harder it was without Facebook and Twitter! They eventually experience grand success (over 130 million albums sold), but a glitch comes when they find out their financial backer was really a con-man, and they were betrayed personally and professionally.The movie also takes viewers on a road trip with the guys where they show their childhood homes and talk about what led them to join the group...and how the group has affected them these past 22 years. It also shows the guys planning their first album without a major record label behind them. It fascinating to watch songs being created from scratch and how you write lyrics and find harmonies.The movie really takes viewers through very intimate moments. There are screaming matches, tears, physical ailments, struggles with substance abuse...nothing is off-limits. Even long-time fans will learn things about their favorite band they've never known.I cannot recommend this movie enough, for both fans of the band or just fans of music in general. There is a dark-side to fame, but if you can keep your head on straight and focus on the right things, you can find long lasting success. The Backstreet Boys are a rare breed in the music industry, lasting 22 years to date! Not many bands in any genre can say that.

dev646 My first review in IMDb and I'm happy this is for my childhood heroes. I listened to BSB in my friend's home and addicted to those mind boggling songs from then on. And I'm so happy to see such a nice documentary has been made after such a long time, without deleting any essence of the pain and hardships they went through. They have done a wonderful job of coming back after 20 years and behind the scenes of the shows, what thought and actions and hard work they had to go through, following each stage in their life, everything is well shown.Thank you, thanks a lot ! This is a not to miss documentary with all it's purity preserved and all music fans should definitely see this.
