    The real Alana Thompson

    Broken heart to see the way they treated her. Watched her grow up on tv but really never knew how she felt and struggles that she was going through. She is only 19 now and glad she is finding her own happiness. She deserves happiness and looks like she is finding it. Hoping she does another so show without anyone from her family. Just Alana and Dralin. She is chasing her own dreams now and she will make them come true without anyone's help. She is no longer the little girl everyone fell in love with, now she is a young woman and real fans still love her and wish nothing but the best for her. She will be great at anything she does.

    Great movie

    June is the most awful mother ever. I can't stand her. I cringe when I see anything about her. They absolutely nailed the characters in this movie. Alana is amazing. She's going to go so far in life. June needs to be locked up for life as the worse mother ever. Definitely recommend this movie. The acting scenes characters are just great. They nailed pumpkin and Justin. Lifetime did really good with this one. I like that Alana finally got to tell her side of the story the truth about her horrible mother. Least she raised some great daughters without her guidance. June is lucky she's not in jail where she belongs!

    A painful spark notes on how Alana sees life

    Basically other than the first five minutes of the show, everything else you've seen on Toddlers and Tiaras, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Mama June: Hot to Not, Mama June: Family Emergency is told from Alana's perspective...which all of those shows literally had her perspective so you're not missing it.

    What this really is, is Alana looking back at it as a college student, which isn't saying much because shes basically had the same view as before. It doesn't have any of her sisters input nor Mama June's.

    It's like watching a tired zoo animal perform the same tricks again and again but in a more decrepit state. 2/10 wouldn't recommend. 2 stars basically because the actors deserved better

    I wouldn't even recommend creating a FRNDLY account and trial, the app sucks, and YOU CANT EVEN SKIP THROUGH.

    Couldn't even Get the real family to act

    I had totally forbotten all about this family until i noticed this show and said i might waste a bit laughing.. i didnt.. i got depressed. The cut away of Alana voicing over is desperate.. especially the facial expression and "the goo goo juice eyeballs" are still there.

    Just another money grab, as they explained the whole way thru the show, every moment was a money grabbing moment for Mama June.. So did she do this doc for free.. she did in her fifteen chins... The actors and actresses bless their cotton socks did a fantastic job show how shallow they were and.. what wa with the constant LENS FLARE BLOOM EFFECT... 9 outa 10 for the scares every time that Behemoth spoke.. 1 out of ten for interest or whatever.

    Important message but terrible acting

    I truly commend Alana for having the courage to share her story and I am sure it took a huge amount of strength. I hope she is in a much better place now and continuing to heal. I think her story will others going through similar challenges feel less alone.

    That being said, I couldn't finish watching because the acting wasn't the best & it detracted away from Alana's story.

    • Quotes

      Narrator: That was me and Mama 13 years ago. Since that happy Mama, a lot has changed. You think you know my story, hell, it's been splashed all over TMZ for years. I've been the star of three reality TV shows, you think you know me, but you don't. For me, it's not about fame and it's not about the money. Honestly, my story is simple: it's about a mom and a daughter, and breaking a cycle of emotional abuse. My mama put men, money, and eventually even drugs ahead of me, but in the beginning, for a little while, it was all about fun.
