Wow, I've seen some paint-by-the-numbers biopics, but this one is the absolute worst. No character development, just endless clichés. At every big moment in her career, she jumps into Rene's arms and says "Oh Rene, you are so amazing!" But Rene got even worse lines. I felt so bad for the actors! Also, quite strange that a biopic of one of the most famous people in the world would portray her as having no accent. I am not a fan of her god-awful music, but even I know she has a thick French-Canadian accent. I saw her on Larry King and found her to be very engaging, down to earth and funny. None of that comes through in the film, where she is just a bland singer worried about her career.
The good news ... I love bad movies, and this one is hysterically bad.
