I was wondering if I should click the spoilers button for this or not as the only thing I'm spoiling is stuff most people already knows about, anyways let's go.
"The Brittany Murphy Story" look like a masterpiece in comparison.
The characters were complete empty shells and Lifetime was scared to bring up any controversial subjects, it made R Kelly seem like a nice guy who just happened to fall in love with the 15 year old niece of a friend (when in fact that was not the last or probably the first time that ever happened, the girl he peed on in that infamous video was another under-aged niece of a friend and colleague of his)
And Damon Dash is (or used to be before Kanye got a voice to speak with) the biggest douche in Hollywood and his portrayal came out like nothing like that, I'm sure he wasn't douchy to Aaliyah but even when he was supposed to be angry towards those guys breaking his expensive vase he was about as threatening as a bumble bee without wings.
And yeah there just wasn't any sort of story in this movie and it was flooded with song performances (of non Aaliyah songs sung by someone who didn't have half the talent Aaliyah had).
And they even dodged making it an exciting plane-crash ending where the pilot knew they had over-packed the plane to the point where it wasn't safe to land, but not wanting to rub any elbows they decided to just end it right before she went to shoot the vid.
It was just the definition of bland and not taking any risks whatsoever, and no wonder that the family didn't give their support to the making of this movie.
