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??

What a disgrace. This movie might be all right if it had no connection to any real people (though it would still be a poor one), but as a biography of Brittany Murphy it's almost unwatchable. Everything is bad.What's with the choice of actress? She doesn't look anything like Brittany, she doesn't act like her, she has no charisma (which Brittany had plenty of)... What's going on? Some other characters in the movie look and act more like Brittany than Amanda Fuller does. Chloë Crampton who plays her friend would have been a better choice. Watching that round face, I had to constantly remind myself who it's supposed to represent because there was just no resemblance.I don't really know anything about Brittany's real life, but I really doubt she was this lame when in the movies she was so cool. It just doesn't add up. I feel like Amanda Fuller has never even seen any of Brittany's movies.Acting is overall pretty bad. A biography of a famous person should not be a B movie with poor actors.The movie completely fails to build up atmosphere for emotional scenes, so they just end up looking artificial and ridiculous. Crappy, boring music doesn't help either. Everything feels fake. Cheap melodrama.A girl with a really bad wig representing Alicia Silverstone wasn't even funny.Brittany's biography deserves a decent script and cast. This is just a bad joke.

Shame on the director and the writer , they didn't even mention 8 miles in the movie nor picked an actress who even slightly resembles Brittany . Brittany wasn't chubby or that ordinary looking , she was pretty and charismatic with a nice smile . Couldn't the director at least pick a decent looking blonde or something ??!! , no he made the effort to find an actor who looked like Ashton Kutcher and forgot about the leading character . Amanda Fuller lacked performance and looks on that movie about a very special talent that the cinema lost . The whole movie lacked excitement , it was supposed to be one of them movies that moves you or touches you but for me that never happened . Movies about biography should be written and directed very carefully and honesty to deliver for the audience the real story with all its feelings and emotions . Disappointing !!!

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..
