The Brittany Murphy Story (2014)

Wonderful character development!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

WTF!!! This movie was beyond bizarre. A travesty. I loved Brittany Murphy in Clueless, The Ramen Girl. She (unlike this 'actress') had talent, perfect timing and star power. It saddens me that they have cheapened her life story and produced a thoughtless, badly researched piece of crap and tried to pass it off as a "movie." An appalling waste of 1 hours and 25 minutes of my life. Sherilynn Fenn I am particularly appalled with you! There is something to be said for movies that add or educate This movie was none of this. An Appalling Mistake. Given I have to do 10 lines I shall repeat. And whats with the 4 minute death scene??

After reading a lot of the other reviews I was shocked at how mean people were being about the casting. These are real people, makes me a little sick. The casting wasn't great but I thought they did an OK job, Brittany Murphy was a star because she had the talent and looks, those are hard shoes to fill. I thought the lead role was cast well, the woman could act, I didn't need her to pass as a double for her character.The story was sappy, but hey this is a Lifetime movie, we knew what it was going into this. Let's not pretend we were surprised how this played out.The movie was OK, I gave it 4 stars. Probably won't ever watch it a 2nd time but it was a decent way to pass some time. Wouldn't mind seeing this story get a real treatment with a real budget.

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.

Awful... Just plain awful.First of all it's sooooo far fetched.Second of all, The girl from "Last Man Standing" (Amanda Fuller) is the worst choice ever for this roll. She looks NOTHING like the real Brittany and brings nothing to the movie.I know it's hard to bring someone's life into a 2 hour movie, but this one will really annoy you.If you have nothing to do for two hours (only 90 min if you FF the commercials) then go ahead and watch it.Awful.Awful.Awful..
