Members SFK Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 She looks extremely familiar, but she is so not Cissy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 They didnt realize that woman looked like Mary J Blige when they cast her? That Saved by the Bell biopic was terrible and almost completely inaccurate. The casting was laughably bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 That was Suzanne Douglas. Not sure if I can pinpoint too much of her work, but she played Maya's mother on Girlfriends. As for the movie itself, Angela did a terrific job for a first time director. However, the movie should not have been called Whitney and touted as a biopic because it was anything but. It should have been called "Whitney and Bobby". And as many suggested, Angela had to be in collusion with Bobby in exchange for his input. No one but Bobby and Whitney knows what went on inside that relationship but he was totally made to look like someone Whitney brought down. Yaya, when she is not doing that nasally voice, is a wonderful actress. She did her homework. She has quite the future ahead of her. I hope Deborah Cox finds a career resurgence after this. The vocals were amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 yes she does! I spent the first half thinking "I had no clue MJB was going to be in this" that was Deborah? I thought it was Whitney! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MoTheGreat Posted January 19, 2015 Members Share Posted January 19, 2015 When I saw the movie I didn't think of Mary J but the lady that was in Tap. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 20, 2015 Members Share Posted January 20, 2015 When she showed up onscreen I had to do a double take cuz I thought it was Mary at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 20, 2015 Members Share Posted January 20, 2015 I thought it was good, it covered one span of time in Whitney's life and that fit with what a television movie can fit in within a couple of hours (less when you factor in commercials). Yaya did a good job with getting down Whitney's gestures, I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
