It’s a movie, it’s a fun watch, enjoy it! It bends the facts, sure, but you can take it as “James St. James’s vision” of what happened. He DOES in fact narrate the movie (well, Seth Green does), so perhaps the film itself is his own telling of the story and he intentionally changes things around.
Vicky, I read your reply and it still doesn’t excuse the fact that they took “artistic license” too far.Yes, you’re right-James St. James is bald-Seth Green looks NOTHING facially or physically like St. James, but oh well. Hollywood always sucks bringing true stories to the screen. Again,they could have gotten a heavier woman,but Hollywood hates to put fat or chubby women in roles,even though the real counterparts are FAT Now that I think about how much they missed,the movie kind of sucks!~
Film makers have to change some of these so that they can fit more into the story line. They couldn’t exactly make a whole different sequence for his mum being upset over getting a bus home. it takes too much time and it would have been cut.
Have you even noticed out toned down the drug use is?!
AND the fact that James St James was bald and Seth Green is not, Micheal Alig was brunette and Mcauley Culkin is not.
Yet you complain about his nonfat mother.
I saw the movie and while I liked it, this was NOTHING like the Geraldo episode on which they appeared. Also, while they got the hair and the accent right on Michael’s mother, his real mother is heavy set. God forbid Hollywood finds a fat woman to play the part. Also, the chicken wasn’t on stage and Micheal’s mother wasn’t on stage either. Angel had on his red wings too. I don’t understand why filmakers have to look over those easy details.

They chose to dress like that because they were creative and expressive. Something that apparently modern society has lost touch with.
way to ruin a book/true story with HORRIBLE performances by second rate actors!
This is painful.
