First Lady of BMF: The Tonesa Welch Story

This is a very long, drawn out movie for no reason. EVERYTHING was stretch. The acting, the scene set ups, directing, the script/dialogue...just not good what so ever. Currently still watching because it's like driving past a car accident....you just gotta get that good look to see exactly what happened. But this ish is horrible. Jess & Leon, & the Harvey actor (God Bless him) did what they needed to do...but the main chick...this was just not the role for her. I thought 50 cent was involved that's only reason why I clicked play...but nah. This ain't it. And First Lady of BMF?! Not with this!!

She literally told the world she was stupid and didnt care about her kids. Pawning them off on her parents. Was a gold digger and took all the credit. This was the worst. I didnot know kellie played the mom. Leon always do him. Dude play Meech can only play thug roles. Love him. She truly never had her kids. I know whomever wrote this had to ask her did she really want to put thisout to the world. She the smartest and dumbest one. And the hardest out of all of them. She know everything but didn't know her son and nephews were in the game. She made Tee look so damn young and dumb. Terry, i get it.

As someone who works with young girls, I've seen how challenging it is to overcome the stigma of a criminal record.

What I like most about the film is that it's not just about what went wrong. I work with young girls who have no clue about what they'll do after they get released. The First Lady of BMF was able to pick herself up and rebuild her life. Further, she put her hands down to lift others out of their unfortunate situation. That's almost unheard of, and I wish more men would follow her example.

• Looking at you BMF

I strongly recommend young black & brown women watch this movie and learn - we don't need more glamorous drug dealers... our urban communities have far too many of them, either incarcerated or deceased.

Watching this movie while writing this review. This ish is horrible :-D. I'm a big fan of the BMF series. There is nothing good I can say about this film other than it not being a series and having to watch it every week bwhaha. Writing in this script seems basic hell. Narration is amatuerish. This shouls be Vivica's first and last time directing a film. As in the previous review, don't bother watching this film unless you are extremely bored. OR possibly you enjoy watching fiims from a female that's scorned over 50 and made the weak attempt to one up him lol. Let's move this film over to Tubi lol.

All a bit predictable and full of the usual pantomime villains and girls who stick together and fight back against their abusers.

It's nothing that you haven't seen before but I guess as a true story it's worth watching ( even though it might not be accurate) I enjoyed it though and it's a good time filler.

The acting isn't great but the plot moves along nicely.

All about the easy money and the good life gone wrong and seen for the folly it is.

Her neglect of her children doesn't make it easy to like her but you can sympathise as you can imagine what it must have been like for a single mother back then.
