His brother was the catalyst for the reality show run? I mean he was right about reality shows being bigger than music, but damn it did a number on his already declining career:huhldup:

In a strange twist of fate, that reality show actually helped Bobby because it made him likeable and showed everybody that Whitney wasn't some "princess" that he corrupted. If anything, she was bad for him and she was letting Bobbi Kristina do whatever she wanted.

Bobbi Kristina was on drugs in her early teans and around 15 when she was sent to a mental institution for trying to stab Whitney after an arguement and then trying to slit her own wrists.

The whole Nick Gordon situation is just :mjcry:.Poor kid ain't have a chance and Whitney had alotta demons. Crazy how the public perception became vice versa once the internet & social media came into play where we saw the real them.

Just like mom: New book alleges Bobbi Kristina was already drug-addicted, suicidal by age 14

Heres my review of the film.

The Bobby Brown Story is way DARKER than the New Edition. The New Edition film focused more on their musical careers whereas they focused more on Bobby's personal life here. They were aiming for the fukkery crowd and boy did it deliever on that aspect!

Within the first 30 minutes of the movie, You're introduced into stabbings, shootouts, baby mama drama, record label drama, and that set the tone for what this whirlwind was gonna become.

This is NOT a family friendly film and Im surprised it didn't receive a R Rating based off the sex scenes but it was what Bobby was really living. Sex, Drugs, Music, and money. Brown literally epitomized Y.O.L.O. and this is what the film focused on.

We also find out things that wasn't really known(unless you're in the industry or read his book). Like Whitney's alleged lesbian relationship with Robin, Bobby allowing Whitney to run his assets through her company(Which is possibly why they couldn't get clearance for the songs for the movie so Woody sung them his self). We get detailed insides about his relationship with Janet Jackson which made social media go wild. Plus we also seen what caused his downfall.

The actors for the most part did well. Woody should literally get a Emmy for potraying Bobby. Phifer as always delievers, The shorty who played Whitney did her thing and the rest of the cast did a great job.

My complaints however is there are seems that felt rushed and like many films they be off with the timeline. I wish they got more indepth with his musical transition from Don't be Cruel to Bobby to Forever. They should have also made Bobby age more because he basically looked like he was in his 20s through the whole movie.

Overall I enjoyed it. Great Job BET

The last 3rd of the movie was typical BET ish. It doesn't even feel like the same move from Pt 1 and the beginning of Pt 2. That is became a highlight reel.

BET trying to double dip off that New Edition movie and shyt, it might just work. They should be pumping these kinds of movies out every month. People would fukk with it


I think a separate movie for bobby was the plan all along.

cuz bobby's solo career was way too much of a footnote in the new edition movie.
