Whitney Biopic Recap + Best Memes From The Movie

Lifetime has GOT to be somewhere thanking the good man above for this biopic redemption...

The premiere of Lifetime's Whitney Houston biopic debuted last night and the movie was combined with every tea lovers dream!

The film, directed by 'American Horror Story' star Angela Bassett, centered around the whirlwind romance of Bobby and Whitney, and not only welcomed viewers into the possible steamy and very freaky love life of the couple, (played by Yaya Dacosta and Arlen Escarpeta) but also depicted the Bad Boy of RnB in a surprisingly and oddly refreshing light.  (So much so that many fans joked about the movie being more about Bobby than the late iconic singer).

At the beginning of the film Bobby is introduced as the king of RnB who eventually steals Whitney's heart, and who also shockingly turns down drugs from the singer at her 26th birthday party. (Yea. Major side eyes were thrown during this part of the movie).

Throughout the rest of the film Brown is shown as the supportive husband who can't seem to catch a musical break or escape the shadow of his wife's Hollywood success.

Despite showing the apparent drug use of the "I Will Always Love You" singer throughout the entire film, lady Ange still manages to uphold the integrity and talent of the Houston legacy.

All in all, I think the real concern of the night was whether or not Angela would be able to pull off a successful lifetime biopic after the epic fail of the Aaliyah movie that was executive produced by Wendy Williams.

If I had to keep score, I'd say:
Angela Bassett - 1, Wendy Williams - none.

What did you think about the movie? Was it a yay or a nay?
