I've been a big fan of Mandy Moore, however back in the early days of DVD I missed out on buying her first DVD release, and was disappointed to find I could no longer buy it from anywhere in Australia. Thank heavens for Amazon!!
The Real Story basically shows various music clips from Mandy's first album, plus interviews with the pop princess on how she started, what she was working on at the time etc. Since this was shot during the release of her first album, she's sporting her good ol blonde locks and is probably 16-18 at the time.
The 50minute DVD keeps you glued to the box, being very entertaining and fast moving. Each segment is seperated by a music video, of which are all top quality.
A must have for Mandy Moore fans.

This is a great DVD if you like Mandy Moore. It covers her ealier years with "Candy" and "I Wanna Be With You". It would've been better if it had her "Mandy Moore" album in but it doesn't. Still, it is awesome.
September 26, 2005I'm sure most people will agree with me, Mandy Moore isn't your typical pop star. First of all, she's too articulate, preternaturally articulate, in fact. Second, she seems grounded, unaffected by all the hullabaloo surrounding most celebrities. Most celebs invite attention to themselves and then later complain of lack of privacy. Mandy just moves around like she's just happy being where she is. And that shows in this video. If I had a daughter, I'd encourage her to make Mandy a role model.

This came out before her huge multi-platinum "Mandy Moore" & is basically all about her up until about January/February 2001. It is a great DVD for all, and its the T.R.U.T.H.!!!!!!!!!!

Mandy Moore is a performer who makes people happy and feel better about themselves. This DVD reveals why. Without question she is bursting with musical, singing and acting talent. But underpinning these qualities is a rare human condition - a positive outlook. Mandy likes herself, her work, her future, her family, her co-workers, her friends, her audiences, and life in general. I doubt she speaks badly of anyone or anything. You can see this attitude in her live performances, interactions with co-workers and audiences, and music videos. They are uplifting. There is a long documentary, narrated by Mandy, that shows how she got into show business and how she made her music videos. Its fun to see such wisdom, focus, and spirit in a young person. I especially enjoy the section of the DVD where her first four music videos are shown in sequence so that you can see how she progressed from gyrating young teen to suave mid-teen crooner of love songs. These videos are very well made and clearly a cut above most. They are fantacy skits that make good combined use of her singing and acting talents. I like the fact that they never employ the common crutches of anger, ugly faces, profanity, nudity, or overt sexual innuendo. Mandy is a performer that kids to oldsters can enjoy. And all this before she even began to star in films.
