    This is one of the best biography-movie you can see

    This is the best movie TLC could get for the adoption of their biography that tuched all of us that was there when this trio came 1991

    TLC has the legacy that is soundtrack to my whole school-era 91-03

    1991 i was in first grade and 2003 i was a graduate student so this movie feels like it speaks to me and i alwats gonna has this story in my heart

    TLC became part of so much more then just music

    Okay for a TV-movie but had it been a theatrical release it would have gotten only half of it's rating

    People seem to be very generous towards the rating of this movie due to it being a made for TV movie, but I mean it can't be compared with theatrical releases like "Ray" or "Walk The Line" or even "Notorious" for that matter

    It's just a obvious TV production and I expected a little more from it to be honest

    I expected Left-Eyes burning down the house and death to have a bigger impact in the movie but it's all fairly rushed and portrayed without much depth

    Something that's also lacking depth are the characters, especially the characters around the main characters, now I really like Evan Ross I think he's one of the better young black actors out there BUT I just don't see him playing Dallas Austin, it just doesn't work IMO...

    All the boyfriends in their lives feel just like empty shells tbh, they namedrop Mack 10 who was T-Boz's man for a good while and they have a guy play him but I don't recall him even having any lines just standing in the background, and the guys who do have lines as I said don't feel very real

    The TLC characters are a little better but they to come across as caricatures more then full-fleshed human beings occasionally

    I don't think people who aren't TLC fans will get much out of this movie

    Wow...A Tell All

    This movie was Great & you picked the perfect actresses & actors! Kudos to the Casting Director & Staff!!! I can really appreciate T-Boz & Chili for allowing us into their world and letting us see what really went on before Left-Eye decided she was ready to go. May she rest in peace!!! May the group continue in their future endeavors to maintain the LEGACY of TLC!!! KeKe, Drew, & Lil Mama did an awesome job!!! The guy who finally got them their money will probably go a long way too. I hope they air it over & over cause I missed some parts. We just never know what's going on behind closed doors huh! They should been millionaires off the first album. A LESSON LEARNED and passed on to future entertainers for sure.

    Enjoyed It

    I enjoyed the film. It's honestly sad to see how the music industry can mess with people that have dreams of becoming a superstar. It shows how it can be a tough ride in a crazy music world. Decent!!

    I think they did a good job of casting the girls. It showed everything from Love to torn friendships to Family. I really enjoyed how the showed the relationships the ladies went through. I like how honest chilli was with her story in this movie. I was surprised at how little LA Reid played in this movie. Carl Payne didn't really have too many lines in this film, I would have expected more since he was part of the bigger picture. I would have thought they would have also included Babyface. Overall it's a solid movie that anyone watching will enjoy.

    • Goofs
      The outfit Lisa is wearing when she burns down the house is different to the outfit she is wearing when Tionne & Chilli find her in the woods. The outfit is in fact the same outfit that Lisa wore when she confronted Andre & his mistress.
    • Quotes

      Left Eye: When I was a little girl, all I wanted to do was just be in the jungle with animals and just be free, free from all of this shit. People think mansions and houses and cars and shit run the world, and they really don't. They really don't.
