In one word this movie is PAINFUL. Do not watch it. I watch all those movies on Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network and I hated this film. Yes I admit that I am not a fan of Fantasia, but I have seen other autobigraphies of people I don’t like and liked their movies. This was just bad. The acting was horrible, the story did not flow, the editing was choppy and it just looked cheap. I found myself wanting to fast foward through most of the movie because I was so bored out of my mind. And Fantasia’s speaking voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.
The lies with promoting this movie. The opening scene in which she was told to quit American Idol is denied by Fox. I remember when she was on Idol there was very little backlash of her being a teenage mom. And then all I have been hearing is how her daughter came out of rape, but if you watch the movie her ex-boyfriend was the father. I am sure there are more lies, but I just don’t care.
The best part of the movie is the PSA after the movie with Fantasia campaigning National Center of Family Literacy.
Are her 15 minutes up yet?
