The Bobby Brown Story

The movie isn't bad but I wish they would have picked someone else that actually looks as beautiful as Whitney was. Not a bad job picking Bobby Brown. Gap tooth and similar build. Overall an ok movie but not a believable Whitney unfortunately.

I loved the movie! I was sick and tired of everyone dog in body Brown out and acting as if Whitney Houston was perfect she was no angel although she sung like one. Her cousin ( Dionne Warwick) got high and the sister in law Pat was a manipulative control freak and Evil. Poor Bobbi Kristina. Bobby wasn't an angel and he messed up. BUT NO ONE controlled Whitney but Cocaine has her! If she felt loved and appreciated by her fsmily..that could have helped her. They knew if she died they would benefit..look at Bobbi Kristina's life. You cant blame 1 person alone for this tragic story! And Janet Jackson has been a hot ass. Dating Jermaine Dupri told me a lot. Both by Didnt lie on her if anything he didn't tell us the rest of her freakiest. LOVE Janet but she is no angel either. Talent and loneliness brings us to all kinds of needs..sex is a common drug

The world's top entertainer with about 12 minutes of entertainment footage, 2.5 songs. No context into why he was so huge in the 80-90s.. They didnt bring back every little step, humping around, didnt explain the background story to my prerogative... unlike the N-E story, i did not feel any goosebumps. No music, just his sex life. Might as well watch Dynasty. Actually the balancd between music and romance was better in Jem and the holograms Historical confusion: he gets fired from NE for snorting and partying too much but in BBS he's calm, debonair and in control. He almost looks likes a victim at every turn. I believe it to be false. Almost as false as WH dragging him into dope. His depiction of Whitney is horrible and so far from what was reported on her in the 90s.

The movie might be renamed 'The sex life of Bobby Brown' because of the numerous sex scenes. Bobby's book says he kicked Janet Jackson out naked but the film makes it look like she opted to leave. I think the story writers held back for decency's sake.

There are a lot of music and movie fans that are more than a bit curious about the early and later lives of singer Bobby Brown and his more famous superstar ex-wife Whitney Houston. The actors who starred in this made for TV biography were great and it is quite evident that they wanted to do a good job and I believe they exceeded expectations.

Part 1 of the Bobby Brown story was interesting as there was some true insight into Bobby's early life and successes with the the group New Edition which helped catapult Bobby Brown's solo career. Part 1 also told the story of how Bobby and Whitney first met and their romance and subsequent marriage and only child together named Bobbi Kristina Brown (played well by actress Donshea Hopkins) all happened slower than many other stars who fall head over heels rather quickly. No, Bobby and Whitney's relationship was a slow romance as both of their solo careers were on high speed.

Part 2 focussed on another speed (cocaine) though and Bobby and Whitney's rapid downward spiral which ended their marriage. Remember the comedy/romance 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral which starred Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell? Well, in The Bobby Brown Story I lost interest through part 2 after not one (1) funeral, not two (2) funerals, not three (3) funerals, but after watching their fourth (4) funeral. Bobby's loved ones were dropping like flies and to be quite frank, this storyline does not hold a fans attention or garner a lot of empathy.

Drugs kill and fame and fortune do not buy happinessl. I rate the film a 6 out of 10 rating for part 1 only, part 2 is more than just a bit sad and depressing.
