But as we follow the back and forth of a newly-empowered Britney Spears in battling her father, any documentary that takes up the cause of an embattled public figure, even one long dead, at least leaves us with hope.
Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed isn’t a takedown piece (at least not of Bob), but it isn’t precious about its eponymous subject, either, blending genuine admiration with a healthy dose of introspection that only deepens a viewer’s admiration of the painter.

I like this documentary about him and his life and it makes me happy learning about Bob ross and the joy of painting Rip Bob

Well, like Bob said "We Don't Have Mistakes, We Just Have Happy Accidents", and now that "Happy Accidents" turns to be a very well documentary film, it is frustrating to know what really happen while he is alive and after he die, but at in the end, we all love Bob, and Steve, but we all hate the Kowalski's.
Report
Part biopic, part mystery, part exposé, Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed is ultimately a cooled celebration, one eager to acknowledge that gurus are complicated, showbiz is treacherous, and some landscapes hide things.
This Bob Ross doc isn’t just messy, it one that paints a mixed portrait that’s hard to decipher.
The melancholy result is that the painter with the spectacularly lulling voice, the hallmark ’fro and the liberating kindness remains a mystery; not the brand that’s made millions but the guy who touched millions.
What the doc explores [is] the divide between the personal and business halves of Bob Ross, and which one should be allowed to occupy his legacy. Is he a face on a logo that sells increasingly kitschy merch of the man? Or is he the father of a son who loves him and wants to determine how he's remembered?
It’s much closer to the work of its main subject: a bit hurried, inoffensive and ultimately unsubstantial. It’s loosely informative, rarely revelatory and, despite what the title might lead you to expect, never provocative.
Pretty good documentary. I'd heard of Bob Ross, but all I knew was he was a painter. I never knew much about him. That Kowalski couple were really a couple of greedy ****!
Report
it doesn't leave the viewer confused, like some documentary tent to do in the beginning, it holds the viewers hand through it. It has an interesting start and catches the viewer by saying, “It´ll be hard to find people for interviews to this film”, as well as talking about a person that a lot of people know at least a little about. It does leave an angry feeling after it is done, since it does not show any form of justice and really shows how the “bad people” got away.
