Desertman84 Michael Jace stars in this made-for-TV movie,Michael Jordan: An American Hero.It also stars Ernie Hudson and Debbie Allen as Jordan's parents and Robin Givens as his wife Juanita. It is about the life and career of basketball superstar Michael Jordan, following him from his early days as a struggling high school athlete to his multiple championships with the Chicago Bulls, when he became one of the most acclaimed players in the history of the game. Despite its obvious budget limitations,I think this TV movie did okay in the sense that it portrayed the life of NBA Great,Michael Jordan in the best way possible within its means.But of course,there will be inaccuracies especially if one is almost too familiar with MJ but nevertheless it still this TV Movie could be a good start of getting acquainted with the life of the great basketball legend as far as the basic details is concerned.

fishbulbIV The name pretty much butchers this (ahem) movie. Look, Michael Jordan is a great Basketball player & a legend to the NBA (let alone the Chicago Bulls). But he was never a soldier in a war or anything like that. So why would Fox Family intitle this (ahem) movie 'An American Hero'.That Michael Jace character doesn't really look much like M.J.. But the rest of the movie should be at least worth watching. That is, if it's still on T.V. anymore now that the Fox Family channel is dead & gone.

taylr41 An over dramatized and partially fictional account of the life of his airness. This is one of those cheesy, before it's time, yarns that could've waited a few years until it was picked up by a director with the expertise and resources to sign believable and talented actors and to treat the story with the reverence and dignity that it will deserve in time.( see The Greatest). the fast food type environment in which this film is presented, complete with cheesy, fake NBA uniforms, Stadiums that look like your local high school gym, and just a general appearance of lookalikeness that borders on condescending, just adds to the tedious nature of the proceedings. I'll admit that the storyline, all the familiar Jordanesque tales, and following this "Michael" mimic the life of the real MJ, will hold your attention. But as you watch, you keep shaking your head at the overall quality and cheesiness of the whole affair. Don't fool with this one unless you're an MJ junkie, and even then, only if you can stand sports themed flicks with actors with little to no athletic skill.

Homesick Alien Horrible. They changed Basketball history for dramatic purposes. So! It's not only horrible, it's a partly fictional biography. Michael Jaze makes you laugh as he tries to put down Michael Jordan.
