This mini-series ended up better than I thought it would. After the first hour, I thought it was going to be more tabloid than substance, but it soon went past that and it became the gift that kept giving. I found a lot of it interesting given the fact that I was familiar with a lot of the incidents displayed in the biopic. The one thing I was most impressed with was the fact that the actors (playing celebs like Bobby, Whitney, Janet, etc) weren't doing 'impersonations' of the people they played. They just played it straight, which was very effective. Not sure if it was intentional, but it actually draws you in more to the situations and actions of the lives being portrayed. It made me care about them as people, more so than tabloid fodder. The acting, stylized direction and fast paced story telling turned this in to must see TV. BET promoted this a lot throughout the summer and I congratulate them on their promotion of it. It was definitely worth the hype and delivered. Mr. Brown's story has a lot of sad and tragic moments, but it also shows a balanced look at all of it. It doesn't paint him as a choir kid. He is definitely a grown man and I applaud his not sugar coating his life story. Bravo!
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 BB story is a different experience from the NE biopic. While the NE biopic is similar to a good feeling coming of age movie, Bobby Browns story is a look at a hard road traveled and the realities that manifest from reckless choices, and the triumphs of overcoming the hard realities of those choices. I laughed, sung the hot BB hits, teared up during the tough scenes and gave praises when Bobby Brown begin to see a brighter day. I totally enjoyed this story. It tugs at the heart and was a fair look at the highly publicized story
Storytelling was great, I believe on point. The actors were better than I thought they would be. Great movie!
The movie isn't bad but I wish they would have picked someone else that actually looks as beautiful as Whitney was. Not a bad job picking Bobby Brown. Gap tooth and similar build. Overall an ok movie but not a believable Whitney unfortunately.
