Here is a look at what to takeaway from watching the new documentary about former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman, brought to viewers by director Todd Kapostasy and ESPN’s “30 for 30” series.
It’s clear that ESPN’s “30 for 30: Dennis Rodman: For Better or Worse” doesn’t do a lot of justice for the Hall of Famer.
Why, you ask?
The opening narration sets high aspirations from the start when Kapostasy makes mention of wanting to curb common misconceptions that reduce the image of Rodman to parodies. Ultimately, the film makes an attempt to accomplish this feat only to get caught up in a running joke of its own about how to navigate the story to account for what Rodman says are gaps in memory about his early life.
