I heard I know Bobby story when I saw this it broke my heart. Yes they could have done a better job with the casting and they could have done a better job going into the abuse. This serves as a cautionary tale about what not to raise kids with. Robert DeBarge senior was an evil man and he deserves to burn in hell what he did to those babies! Fortunately they had children to pick up the torch that they dropped. God bless that beautiful family hopefully that fire that was in Bobby's blood burns in this new generation of the family. Thank God they're there to give a second chance at DeBarge music.

But between over the top acting, and hair pieces that look like they belong in a comedy skit, this did his story a disservice. In fact the whole family deserves better.

I wanted more out of this film. His childhood, his parents, SWITCH, the family and a whole lot more should have been portrayed. It should have been a miniseries bottom line. They deserve that because they made platform for a lot of entertainers now and got no recognition. They said that the project would of been longer but it would have been worth the wait. I feel that Roshon Fegan did an excellent job along with other actors but it need more. The Debarge family deserve that

@@jonesfredrick94 Your comment regarding Tyler Perry comes at a time in my life when I am researching many TP creative offerings because I have an article in mind about those offerings. Perry is a producer, creator, writer, and director who can actually appeal to any and all socio-economic/education levels in the Black community. While I am not a fan of Medea because she actually flies in the face of what I remember back in the day as Big Momma's and the MuDear's, Perry creates characters with whom anyone and everyone can resonate. I think he also allows his stereotypes to see themselves as others see them; the jester, the joke...Perry's movies are exemplary because they appeal to an eclectic group of viewers. While I am not a fan of some of his more self-deprecating tropes, I get why he includes these images...he smartly presents a little something for everybody. Alex Cross, The Family That Preys are examples of TP's that definitely impress me as an emergent writer and a movie lover.

Miss Spirituality I didn’t say they made him look bad, I said they told stories that sounded like he was arrogant. Such as refusing to perform because his family members had a hard time getting in to a show. Traveling in between shows to the doctor’s so he can get his prescription codeine so he can keep getting high and barely making back in time to perform. Wilding out openly with homosexuals and had ppl thinking the whole group was gay and didn’t care when asked to tone it down. And he pulled a David Ruffin. And when his boss ( Berry Gordy) told him that the lyrics needed to be changed on the third album Bobby told him, ‘I’m not changing nothing’ and then Motown didn’t promote the album. This came from the members and Bobby pissed them all off, they loved him but according to them they had enough of him. But now since they weren’t contacted for the film, Bobby wasn’t all that bad. But on another note I hate when biography films have fictitious characters.

Yeah, I didn't wanna watch it because I love the whole family of DeBarge, and this needed a great production/director(s) backing it! Its not a unique story, but it was uniquely theirs and it needed to be told in a great way! BET or VH1 should have done this, and made go to a bigger audience! Russ Parr I love, but I just wasn't drawn into this, or wanted to see it! Their Unsung was better than this! Now please Russ Parr leave The Sylvers story all the way a lone! 💯💯💯💯💯 I'm sad about this! I feel bad for the DeBarge family to have this played out for them like this! Edit: I always seen Bruno Mars as Bobby DeBarge. 💯

Did the family give Clearance for them to do a movie about his brother that's my first question number two were.. they at the premiere when this movie came out and last but not least you could tell the budget was very low but I'm glad we're learning about the oldest brother because he was the one that spearheaded the DeBarge family to come to the mainstream so for that he should always be acknowledged

Hugely disappointing to find out the living family had no input or participation in making the film. Surprising tidbit re Russ Parr who seems thorough and detailed. That halted my desire to watch but I will eventually because I'm obsessed with them and pray for their peace and strength.

THIS MOVIE WAS SOME BS FOR REAL. Some good actors but I think they did not put a lot of thought into how Bobby’s life really was.. I can’t believe his family did not speak up before they put it out there to be seen by the public , because this was terrible they made him look really bad...

What a waste! This story was horrible!! It was all over the place and I still don’t understand why you mentioned Janet? Why? What in the world did she have to do with Bobby? Bobby did so many good things and TV ONE only focused on the bad things. TV ONE is cheap and lazy. Do the research!!!
