Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Just perfect...

How sad is this?

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I attempted to watch this "movie". I will always be an Aaliyah fan. The fact comes to three big points. 1. Why not mention her movie career.Why focus on gossip instead. 2. What about her hits. Yes she had a career with R. Kelly, but her biggest hits came with Timberland and Missy please refer to "Try Again". 3. Why did Wendy Williams produce a movie when she is only known for gossip. So I can't take it serious. I wish that someone will do justice to her legacy. The acting, didn't watch to much. But after watching one performance of the actress singing, I knew it wasn't for me. Die hard fans will hate this movie!! Be warned. Everything that could've went wrong did. The fact that Wendy Williams thought and tweeted that "Let me know" was a song was just pathetic. How did they put together a film and couldn't even pick up an album to get the song title right.

I am a middle-aged woman who knows nothing about Aaliyah. I also don't watch Lifetime that often but, this afternoon, their programming seemed to suck the least. This movie came on in the middle of the afternoon after something else I was watching went off; I kept it on for background noise. Began to pay enough attention to start realizing this was going to be a true waste of 2 hours. The dialog is sappy. The acting is ridiculous (although, I think they probably did the best they could considering the material they were given). the "performance" scenes were badly produced and choreographed. I Googled to find out why a movie about a girl that young was being made. What happened to her was horrible, and this was a horrible way to tell her short life story. If this is typical of what Lifetime produces, they need to give up trying to do this on their own.

Wendy Williams shoved this movie down our throats for weeks. It was awful! I didn't even finish watching it. Okay the girl that played her was pretty but that's about it. As for Elise who played Gladys Knight just confirmed she is a lousy actress. There were just so many things wrong with this movie. The guy that played R Kelly looked nothing like him. It was bad acting all around. Wendy Williams just shut up when you are endorsing a a project. Maybe you jinxed it. The character that played AAliyah did not seem confident in her role. It has to be chalked up to bad direction or just bad acting. It just didn't do Aaliyah justice.

I did not like this movie very much. First of all, none of the actors in this movie looked like the real people, in some instances, Alexandra Shipp almost looked like Aaliyah, but I still believe that Lifetime could have chosen a better actress for such a role. Don't even get me started about the guy they presumed as R. Kelly, not only did he looked too thick, the man looked like he was tired and he looked NOTHING like the King of R&B! Then you've got this tall brown pretty boy wannabe gangster look-a-like that they chose for Damon Dash, PLEASE! Your network needs to fire the casting director of this movie. This movie was poorly done and I believe it was rushed. They did not even portrayed the relationship that Aaliyah had with with DMX which was much more of a value than what she had with Damon Dash. Honestly Lifetime, if you could not have handled a story as Aaliyah's better than this, I think you should NOT have taken up the responsibility of doing a movie like this for the Princess of R&B! This was an UTTER insult!
