I am grateful that we have this documentary as the final legacy of one of the greatest entertainers of the century. With this film, it almost seems that Michael never left us.

We feel deeply for poor Rubina, who really just can't seem to catch a break. And to anyone who's thinking about buying a kid, we suggest following PETA's advice: "Always Adopt. Never Buy."
