Narrowly focused on the last few years of his life, " Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland" labors to humanize the King of Pop, acknowledging eccentricities but portraying him as an object of sympathy. However the movie's reception will likely depend on how one views Jackson's alleged behavior with children.
Jackson is presented as a loving and devoted father, if still a child in a grown-up's body himself. He lives as a virtual prisoner, leery of paparazzi and the unfair way he believes he's treated.
Despite his enormous wealth, Jackson is also shown having serious liquidity issues during this period, so much so that staff isn't getting paid and a lavish toy-store shopping spree becomes painfully awkward when his credit card is denied.
The movie is based on the book "Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days," by a pair of bodyguards who became his confidantes, published after his death in 2009.
