The Worst

"At the risk of being repetitious, most all the low ratings are right on the mark. This documentary is a real disappointment. Most documentaries interview friends, colleagues and loved ones about the subject of interest in order to give the viewer insight about the person - this film does not do that. The full scope of Madonna's life is not touched on; the video clips and still imagery are the same over and over again (likely, they could not afford or obtain permission to secure rights to use more); the primary "storytellers" are an obscure Madonna biographer and a Madonna impersonator who doesn't look much like her. The storyline covers the basics on Madonna that you probably already know and not much more. I am recommending or maybe warning you not to buy this before viewing. I rented it online and glad i did not buy. What a waste of time."

"This production is cheeseball heaven at its best. For Madonna fans (even hardcore)save yourself the time and money. This is not even worth 25 cents at a garage sale.
If you are one of those people who take in consideration other reviews but yet have to see it for yourself, don't bother.
This entire thing is horrible. The commentators(4 of them) are the most interesting part of the whole thing, but not interesting enough to hear them go on and on.
Madonna fans know her whole life story and in this case it is not the information itself, but the way it is presented. I believe this DVD was unauthorized, so there is little Madonna in it. The same clips and pics are shown over and over and over and over. There are no Madonna videos or Madonna music in it.
And the icing on this ugly cake is a Madonna impersonator, who looks nothing like Madonna at all! This impersonator is shown throughout the entire DVD, striking bad poses and doing "Madonna things" because they can't actually show Madonna herself. There are even times when this woman looks like something off a soft porn channel. So very cheesy. I was thinking of selling this back on Amazon, but I don't think you could give this one away. Absolutely dreadful!"

"This DVD contains absolutely nothing that all Madonna fans don't already know and/or have already seen and heard."
Horrible

"Horrible narrator, horrible look-a-like (because they couldn't show M herself). Save your money! The only nice thing about this dvd is the extra with Madonna on the red carpet, but the sound quality is bad. One bit of that extra is a question asked to M at a press conference, but you can't hear the question.. Don't buy this dvd, it is a waste of your money."
