    Michael Jackson scares me...... a LOT...
  • February 24, 2008
    Saw it on video years ago -- Diana Ross was good, they could have done better with someone other than Michael Jackson in my opinion though

    Pure crap ripped off of one of the greatest movies of all time!
  • January 23, 2008
    A fun adaptation of the awesome play. I might like this version better than the Judy Garland one. This one is more hip or something. The songs are catchy and the scenery is awsomely '70s. I'd rather "ease on down the road" than go "off to see the wizard."

    A nightmare-inducing combination of overacting and bad costumes in this Harlem-set bastardisation of "The Wizard of Oz". This is merely a flat-footed version of a jubilant show, putting Diana Ross as Dorothy in this miscast mess. The end result is an acid trip of bad dancing, gar...( read more)ish sets, and a Joel Schumacher-scripted mess.

    but beware u also see why it didnt do well in the theatre in the 70's. Michaeal Jackson and Diana Ross together .

    What can you say about the Wiz? It is a guilty pleasure. Some of the performances were awesome. Diana as Dorothy? Althought she kick the hell out of "Home" Amazing. Had some great creativity going on. Awesome cast. Quincy did some delightful work with the music. It did lack the ...( read more)feel from the play, however.

    Conversations heard while pitching this movie:


    Studio Exec: "I'd like to remake the wizard of Oz, but I want to make it even gayer. How can we do that?"


    Marketing Agent: "That's easy. Let's make it about Michael Jackson, and a band of singing negros! It'll stink the join

    ...( read more)t up AND shut up all those damn civil rights assholes"


    Studio Exec: "That's brilliant! Now, let's see what else we can ruin..."
