RONALD J Good performances, great music, with some really good comedic moments, this film manages to tell what is ultimately a sad story in an engaging way Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review deke p Shd be 5 stars for the music, 1 star for the jerk he turned out to be. So sorry. I remember & loved it well in '56. Seems most if not all of this genre of the real lives of pop music stars shine the light of truth on how fame and fortune took them to the depths & destroyed them. It would be disillusioning.. it it wasn't so normal and expected. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it. Real portrayal of each character brought to life. Best performances by Lorenz, Vivica, Halle, and Lela. They each did an awesome job! Music was great too.... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The story was good, but the majority of the movie was bad. It was really upsetting that they didn't use the story that was originally written for him. I did not like the fact that they decided to make the whole movie based around his three wives, no one cares about a court hearing with his three wives, we want to know if his life as an artist just like every other celebrity made movie. I felt like part of it was truthful and part of it was not. The beginning was not very good and hardly touched at all on how he started etc. The end got better, when it got into the drug part that is when it started to get good and did like how they pointed out that he didnt have a party before he overdosed!! However the worst thing of all about the movie is the Actor Looks nothing Like Him, Doesnt Act like him, Sounds like Him, Look Like him, Talk Like Him, That is what ruined it for me is they didnt even try to find someone who actually could play frankie lymon, they just put a popular african american actor to play his part. Every celebrity movie I have ever seen always tries to atleast get the main character as accurate as possible and the guy in the court looked more like him they the guy who played frankie. It hurts me because there will never be another movie about him again, they had to ruin the first one. I trully feel that way. I wish the original story wrote about him was used and that they actually cared to find someone who could actually play Frankie Lymon. Frankie Lymon is My Absolute Favorite artist of all time, and I know all of his songs, Nothing more serious to me then that. I find it very sad. Frankie Lymon was unique and I was they just captured his character in the movie , and had it look some what like him. The old new york accent he had, the way he looked, and so much else. I trully hope someone will make a new one. Yet the chances of that are likely none.
