Featured reviews
Firstly, I think that Wendy should have made this available on-demand, to international viewers. At this date of writing, the only good quality version is available in the US.
Anyway, I think it was an interesting movie & I really gained an insight into Wendy's life & everything she's been through. The way it was shown, made it feel real. And the really heavy scenes were done tastefully. The acting was great, particularly the actress who played Wendy. (Bravo to the directors; I think they did a great job!)
My only minor critique is, I think that the mid to latter portion of the movie overly focused on her relationship with Kelvin. Whereas, I would have *also* liked to see a bit more about Wendy as a person, her hobbies, interests, friends, the intricacies of how the Wendy show was developed over time, perhaps a funny story etc. (all of which I think was glanced over). But then again, maybe what we got was true to reality i.e. Kelvin dominated those past 20 years & there's nothing else worth mentioning.
Although overall, it's a great movie which is worth watching if you're a Wendy fan.

Only a brain dead Wendy fan could love this tacky movie with over dramatized amateur acting! Even though it's Wendy Williams I expected Better!
I liked this biopic. It's crazy how deep down she was hurting inside but got to tell her story once her husband left.
I watch Wendy on YouTube every morning when I work out, and I am so entertained by her show. This movie blew me away. I knew a lot of these things, but to see them play out with such superb emotion really touched me. My life had been turned upside down by infidelity, and to see Wendy's strength and intelligence in handling all of this has inspired me greatly. How you doin', Wendy? You gorgeous girl, you are rocking it. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Get this spoiled brat off tv never mind making a movie about her!!! You would be better off sitting in front a wall watching paint dry!
Did you know
- GoofsIn a scene where Wendy and Kevin are having dinner, Kevin's phone rings and he declines the call. There is a shot of the phone while it rings and it is clearly an iPhone (version 5S at the earliest based on the appearance of the home button). The scene would take place around 2003 or 2004 but the first ever iPhone was not released until 2007.
