victor7754 Madonna is captivating in Truth or Dare, a self produced documentary showcasing the Blond Pop Star on stage and back stage. There are no cigarettes and their is little drinking, if any going on in the film. Truth or Dare is more about a formed family that produces one hell of a spectacle and at the center is Madonna who holds everyone together using a soft tongue, humor, vulgarity, sex and prayer. Madonna is a phenomenon who soaks up the paparazzi like a magnet; she loves the camera and attention. It is fun to watch Madonna shrewdly humiliate famous men like Kevin Costner and Warren Beatty. It's fun to see her get playful with her dancers and show her breasts off to her friends not letting them get too close. Madonna holds prayer meetings before her concerts with her dancers and back up singers as she chomps gum. It is more like a pep prayer getting everyone into a strong light of commitment and perseverance. The film cuts between stage acts with some of Madonna's top songs then to back stage of other avenues of Madonna's life like visiting the grave of her Mother. Madonna has a helpful brother who shows up in many scenes and his presence is laid back and intelligent. Madonna works hard and achieves much in return for her abilities. She is a living legend who speaks about our rights of artistic expression. We see a kind Madonna who mothers her extended family of dancers and friends and we see a strong Madonna who laughs in the face of humility and gets away with it. Truth or Dare is more rewarding now because we have seen the direction this woman has taken. She has set the example on how to succeed in the Music World and have a good time.

so_original "Truth or Dare" is a documentary that follows the escapades of pop queen Madonna and her backup dancers during her infamous 1990 Blonde Ambition World Tour. Some of her performances from this tour are included, and are filmed in color, while the moments she is not performing are filmed in black and white. Madonna is famous for constantly reinventing her image, and this Madonna is quite different from the Madonna of today. This was before the two kids and the African baby adoption, the second marriage to Guy Ritchie, and Kabbalah. This is the Madonna of 1990 : bold, controversial, sexual, artistic, and constantly pushing boundaries and limits. Her Blonde Ambition tour was a spectacle, full of elaborate choreography, costume and set changes, religious themes, and sexuality. Whether you love or hate her, one look at this movie does not question why she is one of the most successful female artists ever. She is no doubt a visionary, very driven, charismatic, and an energetic performer. Everyone knows Madonna the performer. But, Truth or Dare gives you a peek at Madonna the person. Some people have painted a picture of her as a cold-hearted bitch. There is no doubt that Madonna can dish out some diva attitude when she wants to. She sees herself as the boss, and anyone who tries to step on her toes better watch out. Plus the BA tour was very demanding, with back to back dates and non-stop sets. I'm sure you'd be quite stressed or frustrated in that situation as well.But her critics don't really take the time to point out her good qualities. She has a great sense of humor & can be very caring towards others, like her family and her back up dancers, whom she regards as her family. She sings "Happy Birthday" on stage to her father, waits for hours for her brother to show up backstage, and promotes unity between her dancers. This all seems like very genuine behavior to me. In one scene, a few of her family and friends note how impatient and demanding she can be. But she does seem to gain the people around her's love and respect. Yes, Madonna is very smart and a master at manipulating the media. So she did have control over this project and what was seen and what wasn't. But I give her credit for being brave enough to show the good & bad of her, and being unafraid to face criticism for it. In my opinion, nothing in the film was too appalling. The infamous "laugh" when she discovers her makeup artist was drugged and raped was a nervous reaction, and she did immediately apologize after wards. Madonna has often taken flack for her image, and it could just be the fact that some people don't know how to handle a strong-minded, ambitious woman. I recommend this film to people who like Madonna, cause if you don't you probably won't appreciate it or like it. There's great concert footage included as well, which fans will especially enjoy. It's also a great snap shot of the past Madonna. Whether you agree with her actions or not, she's always compelling and interesting to watch.

mpact75 This is Madonna at her best while during the prime of her music career. Although the film was released in 1991, Truth or Dare actually takes place during the summer of 1990, as Madonna went around the globe on her Blonde Ambition tour. This documentary / music film is a piece of history of not only of Madonna back in the day but what the styles and sounds of the year where like. Boy does it bring back memories! From spandex biker shorts, to that famous cone bra, and not to forget the hairstyles... its really great to watch and think back of what life was like when "Vogue" was her biggest hit to date. She is so revealing, funny, demanding, and warm at heart. It shows the no nonsense business side of her and the sad reflective side of her as she thinks about her mother who died when she was so very young. The film is packed with celebrities, including Warren Beatty, whom she dated while filming his blockbuster film, Dick Tracy. It shows the lives of her dancers, backup singers, and the crew behind the stage as they all mingle around her and do their best for camera time. LOL But in the end, there is no brighter star than Madonna. To this day she is still pushing buttons, creating great music, and daring us all to watch. And just like this film, I think its safe to say she accomplished what she set out to do.

triple8 Such is the case with me. Although, I don't NOT like Madonna, I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. So it was really hrd to be that into this. It is interesting to watch but if your not a true madonna fan, how into it are you gonna get? The people who I watched it with are in fact major fans which is probebly why they enjoyed it more. I do feel there were some interesting moments as well as some very touching ones. It wasn't bad as far as documentarys go. It just didn't do anything at all for me personally other then giving me a little gilmse into the life of a performer I was never heavily into anyway. However, if one is a major Madonna fan and hasn't seen thid they may want to, it was very definetly wellmade even if it didn't fascinate me personally.
