To me, this movie is perfection.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Where do I start? The scripting, the character development, the acting, the plot - I could go on - all shockingly terrible! The stock footage of England looked like a random high street in Slough or Stevenage or somewhere equally as random. The casting director must have been on holiday as no effort was put in to find actors that looked even a smidgen like the person they were supposed to be portraying... Missy Elliot?? However, this film was a barrel of unintentional laughs, and those are the best kinds of laughs. Tommy Wiseau, eat your heart out! I began to anticipate each scene, wondering how the film could possibly get any worse, but impossible it wasn't. I only hope that Aaliyah's family never lays eyes on this disaster of a film as it is far from being a fitting tribute to the late R&B star.

It's such a shame that the movie about the life of the amazing Aaliyah was this one!! Terrible acting! So cheesy! How was it allowed to go ahead?! I am SO embarrassed watching it, but thought I'd see it through to the very painful end!Alexandra Shipp is not a good actress, nice voice though, perhaps she can have a career in music? The film in memory of Aaliyah should have been bigger than this and with a bigger & better actress! I think that Alicia Keys would have been perfect!!Such a disappointment!

I would score it a 0 if I could. This movie had me so upset. How dare the procedures put out such garbage It's almost like they didn't know anything about Aaliyah's story and just threw a movie together for a check! They didn't even pronounce her name right in the movie. I can't even believe how outright pathetic the acting and choice of casting was. It was nearly the worst biopic I have EVER seen and I hope for Aaliayh, her story will be portrayed much better in another film worthy of her legacy. I will NEVER watch another movie produced by the directors of this movie nor will I ever watch another movie starring Alexandra Shipp. She also failed in Drumline 2. She needs to maybe try modeling because acting is not her thing.

I refuse to give this movie a rating because eventually it'll add up to a good one. I was 11 yrs old cleaning up my room when I saw the news Aaliyah died. She was my idol I wanted to be her when I got older I know every little girl at that time did. I remember my cousins, friends and I would record her videos on VHS and watch them over and over to get her dance moves down so the next time one of her videos come on we would be right there in the living room doing her dance moves. While watching this monstrosity of a biopic I actually thought it was going to be a good movie. I was routing for this movie because I THOUGHT it was going to beat the negativity and deliver. However, it was a BAD the script was awful death to the writer, and the actors... Now even with a bad script some actors can shine but I feel that these actors were just happy to be offered as role. They could have brought but they needed to put more into their trade. When playing characters do your research don't just watch an interview and think you got it down. Take the time and nurture your role perfect it. Then again we are talking about Lifetime they probably didn't give the actors that chance. Overall this movie shouldn't have been made it didn't portray Aaliyah the artist, the writer, the singer, the visionary, the young lady, nor the Woman.
