I must say I can't imagine someone picking this "story" as worthy of a movie. Lifetime has so many amazing movies and stories about true life crimes and stories and this is so not one of them. I do feel sorry for the little girl who did not ask to be brought into this world or to have the way she was brought into this world on display for all her friends to see. It is very sad that this is what America wants to see and this is the idea of a role model. Reading and Writing are so important and what happened to getting married and having children? This whole story is not something that needed to be praised. Someone wrote a book for this girl and then they decided to make it into a movie and then to make matters worse, the girl portrayed in the story played the role in the movie. Would you like more clarification? How much are you going to glorify this terrible example for our youth? Lifetime movies are usually a 10+ but this one ranks on the negative scale in a huge way.

I appreciate that Fantasia Barrino rose from a hard-knocks life to attain stardom. However, this movie is so overwrought that I had a hard time getting on Fantasia's side. The wailing, crying, overacted scenes by all characters are just too much. They bordered on being unpleasant stereotypes. What I observed was a passive and somewhat lazy person just allowing life to roll over her without comment. She made extremely poor decisions, in spite of having a supportive family and living in a decent community. (I lived in Winston-Salem, not far from High Point, and it is hardly a "ghetto." It's a nice place with ample job opportunities in a 20-mile radius.) I'm glad that Fantasia is now guiding her own life, instead of just rolling through on the public dole. However, her story should not be taken as an example of how young women should live their lives. Reality television is not capable of rescuing every teenager who made rotten decisions in their lives. Hopefully, people will realize that education ups their chances much more that a television show does.

While I thought Fantasia did a wonderful job of portraying herself, in what had to have been a deeply cathartic experience for her, I felt that the show overall, specifically the part dealing with American Idol, was handled in a very unsatisfying, shallow and superficial way.I was looking forward to this part of the story, most of all, to see, in a little depth, what went on inbetween her actual appearances on the show, but we got none of that, just a bunch of the TV clips strung together, and the next thing we know, she's up there with Diana DeGarmo waiting for the Finale result.The ending, also, was completely unsatisfying; it felt as if it were tacked on as an afterthought.Fantasia's story is an inspiring one, there's no question. It's a story that deserves better a telling than this.

I LOVED this movie and i love the acting in this movie Fantasia was excellent and she is very beautiful inside and out and the title for this movie fit perfectly and i am really looking forward to seeing another movie with her. Fantasia is such a inspiration to many people with dreams and young mothers she showed that through all the pain you still can make it and be somebody because she is somebody. I just love her like i know her. when i was watching the part when Ryan was announcing the winner it was like deja-vu i was so happy and excited i got a little teary eyed i really loved the movie, and i wish millions of more people will watch the movie it was great, and i wish fantasia could read this to know how great it was.
