"Malcolm in the Middle" is one of my favorite TV shows and I still watch it often in syndication. The writing is great and the show really has a great ensemble cast.
In 2002, someone decided to create a documentary about the show. However, its intent is obvious...not to entertain the audience but to essentially do a self-congratulatory piece that says hurray for us and delivers only the most positive and glowing information. If you believe this film, everything about the show, the actors, etc. was perfect...couldn't be better. Now, this could be true...but hearing a constant refrain of self-congratulatory praise decreased my enjoyment of the piece. I didn't want them to generate fake controversies...but I also wanted more facts and more information about the day to day workings instead of just having everyone say that all is swell. Overall, a fluff piece about a great show.
