An informative and frustrating doc.

"The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story" is a bittersweet and frustrating film that will either get you to feel bad for Lou Pearlman or make your blood boil. . In this documentary, a look at the rise and fall of boy band manager Lou Pearlman, who not only discovered NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, but set up one of the largest ponzi schemes ever. . After hearing about this story years ago, I thought it was smart to make a doc about the situation. Lou Pearlman was one of those guys you couldn't hate but deep down a twisted individual. I enjoyed this film and I think it covered most of the ground you'd be interested in hearing about. I did think it was repetitive at times but none the less captivating. You can now stream it for free on YouTube. . Follow @snobmedia for more reviews!
