Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs overcomes adversity and tragedy to become a singer, songwriter, actor, record producer and entrepreneur.

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

By the time Can't Stop Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story reaches its conclusion, viewers will know that the rapper/businessman wears Calvin Klein boxer briefs. And that a room in his home is devoted entirely to candy.

Los Angeles Times

"Can't Stop, Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story" seems more intimate and revealing than these sorts of artist-approved self-mythologies usually are - even if it fails to fill in all of Combs' blanks in 80 minutes.

National Newspaper Publishers Association

On some levels it's revealing. On others, it has as much depth as an 8 X 10 glossy.

Common Sense Media

Never has vulnerability looked so scripted. Can't Stop, Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story feels less like the music documentary it should've been and more like an overproduced and overstylized propaganda film.

Rated: 2/5

Can't Stop, Won't Stop will leave you with a great sense of the life and times of Diddy, even at times portraying him as just another guy next door.

As a record-label history lesson, Can't Stop, Won't Stop is incomplete. As a concert doc, it's a rough ride for the viewer.

Interesting to see fron the artist perspective, instead of what people think after the person has passed.

They spend the entire doc building up to the reunion concert, and then you don't see any live footage from the actual show. It's a big letdown from an otherwise decent film.

I was pleasantly surprised. I never really cared for Puff Daddy's flamboyant persona, but after watching Can't Stop Won't Stop I have a newfound respect for his work ethic and what he has been able to accomplish. It was great seeing the Bad Boy artists reunite. I wish I had attended the concert. The segment on Biggie was excellent. It's a good movie, not just Puffy dancing and showing off.

Fascinating behind the scenes look at one of the most influential men in Hip-Hop, great visuals and commentary throughout the whole film.
