I'm giving it two stars because the casting for Whitney was terrible . All I could see is Brandy with Whitney's vocals . I feel the story jumped too quickly like Aretha's and didn't focus on a solid story. One moment Whitney's married the next she's doing drugs and with Bobby Kristina . My thing is sure Manu of us lived through it but their are generations who haven't experienced Whitney so it is okay to start the story in depth from scratch. The 28 days they took to make it showed. They focused on Whitney's vocals. My thing is Tina turner, Temptations, Jackson American Dream, and New Edition made alterations to balance their movies/series out to focus on a entertaining story with progression through time and music . So I am unsure why this one failed . Maybe too much family involvement? Not enought interviews idk . It was okay but I would not watch it again . I rather watch the real Whitney . I Def was not sold . What Naomi presented could haven't been given by any actor . Watching the others even Chadwick's James brown I was sold he was James . There was nothing Naomi gave that a random couldn't have .

It was to me....a PURE unorganized Disney film. It was like Mulan live action × Raya and the last dragon. It did not give off a good solid Marvel film at all. I think the acting from the lead male and female was poor..it was not believable and at times boring. I think there we're better actors that have could been used in this film other than those two... They wanted the impact of black panther but it just wasn't there. My family and I were really rooting for this to be amazing. I do give credit to the actor who played his father. To me he carried the film.

Hilarious yet great drama. I hope to see many more seasons out of this series. Support Bruhs! I love to see a black cast especially young black men.

Favorite Disney remake hands down couldn't imagine live action genie as anyone else except will smith.
