fame-angel I love Aaliyah, but this movie was the absolute worst for several reasons. Wendy Williams went against her parents wishes to NOT do this, therefore none of her music was in the movie. The actors looked NOTHING like the actual people and it was just bad all around. If you haven't seen this atrocious movie, great for you, keep it that way. I am so disappointed in those who participated in this film. The only good thing about this movie is that Alexandra does a tad bit like Aaliyah, just a tad. Everything else is absolutely horrible. I can't think of any other way to describe it, so atrocious, terrible, horrible, bad and the worst part is that it was on Lifetime. Lifetime is known for having terrible movies that are extremely cheesy and unbelievable. Putting it on Lifetime was not a good look, this entire movie was not a good look. Babygirl should have been represented better and I hope one day, it's done the right way and put in theaters, she deserves to have her story told the right way, all Wendy wanted was the juice on her and R. Kelly, that all this was about.

M AL Yes this movie was terrible butWhy not have a documentary movie instead?, which screens all of Aaliya's music videos, behind the scenes work, video through her career and life in one big movie edited with all her music, include her ups and downs. I would watch something like this on IMAX.Movies on legends are difficult to do and to do them you need a big budget to get the emotions correct, casting even more correct and so on. You cannot find someone that looks exactly like Missy Elliot and acts her out exceptionally well. Just have missy and timbaland themselves give their experience working with Aaliyah.

nunbetta12 I would score it a 0 if I could. This movie had me so upset. How dare the procedures put out such garbage It's almost like they didn't know anything about Aaliyah's story and just threw a movie together for a check! They didn't even pronounce her name right in the movie. I can't even believe how outright pathetic the acting and choice of casting was. It was nearly the worst biopic I have EVER seen and I hope for Aaliayh, her story will be portrayed much better in another film worthy of her legacy. I will NEVER watch another movie produced by the directors of this movie nor will I ever watch another movie starring Alexandra Shipp. She also failed in Drumline 2. She needs to maybe try modeling because acting is not her thing.

laneeset Why make a movie about Aaliyah and not do it right. The actress portraying Aaliyah has a singing style that sounds like "pop" while Aaliyah's style is way more Hip/Hop-R&B. The actor portraying R. Kelly looks nothing like him, not even close, and it really bothers when these movies are made about blacks that greater care is not made to find the right actors to more accurately represent the people being portrayed. This production is a massive fail. Aaliyah was a fabulous singer and dancer, how could Lifetime attempt to make a movie about her life and exclude her hits and not include more dancing and singing in it? Her greatest hits are not even in this movie. How can this be? It gets 2 stars simply for attempting to pay homage to the late songbird who deserves so much better than this.
