"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.
