The Bobby Brown Story

There are a lot of music and movie fans that are more than a bit curious about the early and later lives of singer Bobby Brown and his more famous superstar ex-wife Whitney Houston. The actors who starred in this made for TV biography were great and it is quite evident that they wanted to do a good job and I believe they exceeded expectations.

Part 1 of the Bobby Brown story was interesting as there was some true insight into Bobby's early life and successes with the the group New Edition which helped catapult Bobby Brown's solo career. Part 1 also told the story of how Bobby and Whitney first met and their romance and subsequent marriage and only child together named Bobbi Kristina Brown (played well by actress Donshea Hopkins) all happened slower than many other stars who fall head over heels rather quickly. No, Bobby and Whitney's relationship was a slow romance as both of their solo careers were on high speed.

Part 2 focussed on another speed (cocaine) though and Bobby and Whitney's rapid downward spiral which ended their marriage. Remember the comedy/romance 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral which starred Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell? Well, in The Bobby Brown Story I lost interest through part 2 after not one (1) funeral, not two (2) funerals, not three (3) funerals, but after watching their fourth (4) funeral. Bobby's loved ones were dropping like flies and to be quite frank, this storyline does not hold a fans attention or garner a lot of empathy.

Drugs kill and fame and fortune do not buy happinessl. I rate the film a 6 out of 10 rating for part 1 only, part 2 is more than just a bit sad and depressing.

The Bobby Story Was Actually What I Expected It To Be I Loved Gabrielle Dennis As Whitney but I don't like the way Whitney was portrayed in the movie if you get what im saying like Gabrielle Dennis was great she was beatiful she gave me Whitney all the way but I feel like Bobby made Whitney the enemy and i hate that's he made Alicia look so perfect

Storytelling was great, I believe on point. The actors were better than I thought they would be. Great movie!

The movie might be renamed 'The sex life of Bobby Brown' because of the numerous sex scenes. Bobby's book says he kicked Janet Jackson out naked but the film makes it look like she opted to leave. I think the story writers held back for decency's sake.

The world's top entertainer with about 12 minutes of entertainment footage, 2.5 songs. No context into why he was so huge in the 80-90s.. They didnt bring back every little step, humping around, didnt explain the background story to my prerogative... unlike the N-E story, i did not feel any goosebumps. No music, just his sex life. Might as well watch Dynasty. Actually the balancd between music and romance was better in Jem and the holograms Historical confusion: he gets fired from NE for snorting and partying too much but in BBS he's calm, debonair and in control. He almost looks likes a victim at every turn. I believe it to be false. Almost as false as WH dragging him into dope. His depiction of Whitney is horrible and so far from what was reported on her in the 90s.
