The Brittany Murphy Story Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Desertman84 Amanda Fuller stars as Brittany "Britney" Murphy in this Lifetime TV movie entitled "The Brittany Murphy Story".Sherilyn Fenn and Eric Petersen co-stars as Britney's mother Sharon Murphy and Britney's husband Simon Monjack.This chronicles the life of Britney from her rise to stardom until her tragic untimely death.The movie starts when Britney was a teen-ager.She started doing commercials until she as casts in a movie starring Alicia Silverstone known as "Clueless".That started his rise into becoming a new movie star.It also touches on his relationship with former "Just Married" co-star Ashton Kutcher.As her fame rises,it was shown that Britney never acquired a strong self-confidence as tabloid rumors and critics as well as bad and negative experiences easily bring her down.Then,it was later revealed that she does not have great health which affected her confidence even lower as she got more bad experiences such as getting fired in a low-budgeted movie(known as Caller),getting less work as an actress and even getting into a whirlwind marriage with Simon Conjack.Then she died at an early age of 32.The movie does not really provide a lot of details about Brittany Murphy.It only shows that she happens to be a woman lacking in self- confidence.It was also shown that her success into becoming a movie star never improved her confidence at all that ultimately resulted to her untimely death.It just saddens the viewer that there is very little to learned from it as the Murphy's life was never fully examined as it probably did not like to hurt other people.Also,it never even showed what qualities she possessed that made her into a movie star aside from the fact that Amanda Fuller does not look like Britney at all.Is it being a TV movie being on a limited budget a big reason to make a decent biopic on her?Anyway,there will be another movie and not a TV movie made about about Brittany Murphy starring Annette Walter. Will the the film "Britt" do a better job in telling the story of her life?Let's wait and see.
PippinInOz I stumbled on this film one day and for about thirty minutes was completely spell bound at just how awful it really was. Serious reviewers have made much of the bad wigs - which should tell you everything you need to know! If you are in the right frame of mind you will belly laugh, which seems a very sad state of affairs when you consider this is supposed to be about a young woman who died much too young.There is one particular scene which is, frankly, bonkers. A better treatment would be put together by a fifteen year old film student.Look away ladies and gentlemen - nothing to see here.
dustyoldbones Saw this film tonight on TV and decided to watch it because I am big Brittany Murphy fan. I watched the entire movie and was blown away.The actress looks and acts nothing like Brittany Murphy in anyway. I doubt if you could hire someone who could do justice to Brittany's magnetism on a small budget, but you could at least hire an actor with a similar face/body shape. My god, I shouldn't have to keep reminding myself that this is supposed to be Brittany Murphy on screen.The actor playing her husband was creepy as all hell, when he came on screen i though "okay, this is clearly the manipulative creep in the story" and it seemed like it was going that way. Nothing really came out of that though, so why hire an actor that the audience dislikes the entire time he is on screen? The intimate scenes were disturbing!This movie was made in 2014, and yet they leave her extremely suspicious death to 4-6 minutes of screen time? followed by a direct quote from Wikipedia as a epilogue? Rest in peace Brittany, I'm sorry they did this to your life story.
edwagreen While it is true that Ms. Fuller could not compare in looks to the late Brittany Murphy, it is also true that she gave a very memorable performance relating to the late star. As her mother, who wanted freedom for her daughter, Ms. Fenn was also quite good as well as the guy who played the con-artist producer she married.This is literally examining the familiar theme of too much too soon and how it affects people who achieve stardom very quickly.The Ashton Kutcher role came off as real heel here. This personality and attitude certainly didn't have him coming off in the best of ways.Amazing that she kept to herself, was a doting daughter and did not jump out all the way for the Hollywood life. Better off had she remained in New Jersey and had led an ordinary life.
