Leave your thoughts about The Legend of Billie Jean.
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioThe Legend of Billie Jean is trashily manipulative and utterly preposterous, so much so that, until the end (when it begins to sour on you), it's a thoroughly enjoyable hoot. Add a splendid cast and good air conditioning, and it's a perfectly mindless way to spend a muggy summer evening. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe Legend of Billie Jean' is competently made, sometimes attractively acted, and bankrupt beyond belief. It's hard to imagine that even the film makers, let alone audiences, can believe in a sweet, selfless heroine who just can't help becoming a superstar. |
| Chicago TribuneSid SmithFour-letter words and gags about periods fail to disguise the adolescent wish-fulfilment quality of script and direction. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Has a straight faced camp about itself that makes it a blast from the past worth sitting through |
