    My mom would disown me if I didn't at least like this.

    ★★

    This is stock footage, not a documentary. It falls well short of its putative reason for being, which is to say that MJ's final concert tour would have been legendary. This Is It does not argue in its favor.

    The September Issue

    ★★★★

    Surprisingly fascinating. It showed as much of Anna Wintour's neuroses as her freakish drive and will, which I appreciated. Grace Coddington is the star of this movie, though. It's so hilarious to me that that much discussed Vogue issue came out sort of meh.

    ★★★½

    Jennilyn Mercado is the MVP of this endeavor. The film works best when it lets the characters be funny, instead of forcing them through the stereotypical motions of a romantic comedy. The ending needed a lighter footprint, but it didn't negate the my lols from the first hour.
