I didn't want to look away for a moment; this man's talent was truly awe-inspiring (as overused as that phrase is, in this case it is true--I was in complete awe of his singing, dancing, and production ideas). The film also includes snippets of interviews with some of the dancers in the show--it was interesting to see how much the opportunity to dance with MJ meant to them. I found the movie touching, but not sappy at all.
