Hit producer Frank Farian (Matthias Schweighöfer) takes on unknown dancers Rob Pilatus (Tijan Njie) and Fab Morvan (Elan Ben Ali) for his next music project. A meteoric rise ensues that exceeds all bounds. The two friends Rob and Fab conquer the international charts under the name of Milli Vanilli, have three Number One hits in the US and enjoy a life of excess in Hollywood. There is only a small circle of insiders who know their secret: the duo don't sing themselves at all -- they merely move their lips to the voices of the real singers. At the height of their fame, when Milli Vanilli win a Grammy and tour America, the truth finally comes to light. While the mighty apparatus that has been pulling the duo's strings quickly washes its hands of the affair, Rob and Fab find themselves in the middle of the biggest scandal in music history....

3/4
Girl You Know It's True doesn't always work, but even at 2 hours, this one is as catchy as, well, a Milli Vanilli song. Go to Full Review
Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Aug 7, 2024
2.5/4
The new movie splits the difference between the horrible and the hilarious, with predictably lukewarm results. Still, the story is delicious enough to survive an earnest treatment. Go to Full Review

3/5
A competent and watchable two hours, but the ground it covers has been better trod elsewhere. Go to Full Review

0.5/4
There have been some embarrassing biopics over time but this, a feature length version of Behind the Music recreations, is hackneyed in at best, laughable at times and shockingly shallow in engaging with the most basic sins of the entire deception. Go to Full Review
