Mekeisha Madden Toby TheWrap Despite a handful of great performances, this small-screen drama is a forgettable, overly publicized splash in the pan unworthy of the woman it earnestly but clumsily attempts to honor. What a shame. Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Jai Tiggett Shadow and Act The movie bears little resemblance to Aaliyah's life and career, and tells a dissatisfying story for fans as well as general audiences.

Asia V The movie was terrible... I need for somebody to correct this mistake. This isn't fair. Now I watched this when it first came out and I wanted to cry because it's disrespectful. She deserved better than this. If I could give 0 stars I would. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review lucas. horrível pessimo nao recomendo Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish I could rate this less than 100 stars because it was absolutely terrible. This movie is a tasteless and disgusting portrayal of the dynamic life that Aaliyah lived. The acting is horrid, the songs are silly. Just a MESS. Iâ(TM)m so sad they didnâ(TM)t do her justice like the Selena movie or even Whitney. This is something I wish we could all erase from our memories. What an absolute train wreck of a film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was 100 percent horrible it's feels you watching a family friendly sitcom of family matters and The Cosby Show combined the actors are not perfect match to the real R&B artist, the timeline is speeding up mad fast and where the hell is the plane crash scene I mean what no details whatsoever well thanks to Wendy Williams she did a horrible job as the executive producer period. I gave this film 1 star. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/18 Full Review Read all reviews
