The true-life story of a mother who overcame an addiction to crack and became a positive role model and an AIDS activist in the black community. Life Support has it's fair share of good moments but also a very good message that it doesn't develop as well as it could also Queen Latifah does a pretty good job in the lead role but the dramatic parts and the storyline as a whole was flawed and quite disappointing since it tried way hard sometimes to make you shed a tear. Overall it's a TV Movie of course and unfortunately it shows like alot of times. (3.0/10)

The big screen missed this one. I saw this movie just last night although it came out last year and will forever be changed. I am a movie buff and can sit thru the weakest story lines along as the execution is good. This movie was hands down one of the most amazing movies of 2007. The Queen was as always perfect and continues to show her versatility in acting. I was blown away by all the actors because this came off as a documentary. It seemed like they were following around this woman in real life. Evan Ross stole the show for me. He was channeling his mother in Ladys sings the Blues on this one. His performance was OUTSTANDING. His brought to life an urban legend, that you can be black gay and not want to be a woman or be on the DL. He made me love him and then he went away, he died, I cried, I LOVED IT. This movie was convicting and it made me want to do more for the cause. It pulled at my heart strings and hasn't let go yet. Jamie Foxx is one of talented men in the industry as he lends his talents behind the scenes and sings a song at the end that is sure to make you cry. All I can say is thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

The movie centers around a mother who overcame an addiction to crack and is now trying to make some good in her life. She wishes to become a part of her daughters life. The daughter, played by Rachel Nicks, lives with her grandmother, presumably because mom was a crack head.Tifah just keeps getting better. She is fantastic as the mother and main character. She is on the screen 90% of the time and carries the film like a champ.Supporting roles are good too. All were performed impeccably, but if the gods are fair, Rachel Nicks will have a bright future ahead of her. She plays the part of the daughter and sister of Amare, a kid on his way down the tubes, with a very believable and moving emotional performance.It's not Philidelphia, but definitely #2 when it comes to the topic of AIDS.

Growing up in the Bronx with drugs and AIDS being overwhelming issues even 25 years ago, I know how important this film was then and, unfortunately, continues to be today. This film is long overdue in its education of prevention, its compassion for fellow humans, and more than anything - its hope. The AIDS issue is stitched together beautifully following the story of a mending family torn apart by drugs many years ago. It's a must see to understand the inner city and in solving this together. Every part was played to perfection. The writer's depth of understanding that this is a far-reaching issue that invades even the simplest aspects of daily life, family trust, and personal pride is worth mentioning.
