I have yet to see the film, but based on the article I can honestly say I'm not surprised considering this was a Lifetime production. I don't know if they completely run around the point of a biopic for legal issues or what, but it really is a shame they put out such disappointing movies. I watched their Aaliyah biopic whenever it came out, and it had a similar feel. I then read online that her family wouldn't allow Lifetime to have access to certain things (her music being the big one), so they had to work around this. Also, they romanticized her relationship with R. Kelly...like A LOT. Also, they didn't even cover the plane accident that ultimately led to her death. They literally posted text on the screen and that was it. I think Lifetime needs to NOT do anymore "biopics" because they clearly are just butchering them. Whitney Houston was an incredible voice, and I don't think it's fair to characterize her entire career by using Bobby Brown in every faucet. They should just stick to the usual.
