Having watched the original show, I was looking forward to yet another 'unauthorized' version from a 90s TV show as I did with the 'Saved by the Bell' and 'Full House' versions but this one really disappointed.
First off, unlike the other two, none of the actors look like the actors they are portraying with the exception of the Jennie Garth actress. In fact, the actress that played Tori Spelling could also have played Jennie Garth as well due to their resemblance.
Why you would make a behind-the-scenes movie and limit yourself only to the first four seasons of a ten season show I don't know but that puts the focus of the movie more on Shannen Doherty and her attitude and exploits over the other actors some of which don't even get a mention at all as pointed out by other reviewers.
There were a couple things I did like. When Ian says to Shannen that she is like a shark and a tornado, we get the reference to the Sharknado movie franchise which Ian was later a part of. I also liked the realistic portrayal of Brian Austin Green's dancing style. I remember how we mocked it back then as did the fellow cast members in this movie.
I believe this to be Tori Spelling's version of events but you can decide for yourself if you choose to kill a couple hours with nostalgia.
