First, I wanna say I understand that this is a movie. Second, horrible acting!
Diana Ross was great in this movie. I loved the real tears.
If this movie were made today we'd have a hundred posts here about "feminist bs and crap" about how all of the male characters were scum and how sick the posters are of female empowerment movies... well...
Brandy and diana together have amazing chemistry. Never say never album premotion!!!!
OK i know I'm a little late to be reviewing a movie that came out in the late 90s, but whatever here it goes.I finally saw the film last night, and i was looking forward to it because i had wanted to see it for years.
First thing I want to say is why have one of the finest singers alive, Brian Stokes Mitchell in a musical in a non singing role? I was sure somewhere in the story Mama Ross was going to say she met her husband singing in a band and perhaps we would see some flashbacks.
I thought the film was very good i watched it twice, i think there is a lot of truth to the plot in the film its called life,choices and consequences and brandy and Diana played it well so what if they didn't write the song so what if they where 2 of the 5 directors does it really matter the film looked at a choice a mother made to get a career for her self so when she was offered a chance of a life time she tried to get her husband on board but he didn't believe in her how many people would turn it down i wouldn't but the film is about choices and the consequences that you have to take to become a star or what ever choices you make in your life.
A movie with Brandy and Diana Ross. An untalented, horrible actress coupled with a has been.
Further proof that Americans aren't as tasteless as many Brits insist comes from the news that this TV movie was a resounding (and deserved) flop when it aired on ABC - Diana Ross' first film since "The Wiz" casts her as a singing superstar who abandoned her daughter (played by Brandy) in her bid for superstardom, and now wishes to a) get back into her life and b) give her a hand in making it herself. The two stars also served as two of the FIVE executive producers, making this a vanity project times two - our divas take it in turns to exercise their lungs, and if you're a fan of either you may enjoy it on that basis alone.
