The PR notes say:
This Lifetime Original Movie is the inspiring story of 2004 American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino. At 16 years old Fantasia dropped out of school and had a child, but she refused to give up on her dreams. With her passion for life and her vocal talent, she beat the odds and rose to become a successful, Grammy-nominated recording artist. Fantasia will not only play herself in this true-to-life movie, but she will sing as well. Directed by Emmy and Golden Globe-winning director, Debbie Allen, this will be an unforgettable story of the courage to follow your dreams and never give up.
Art Vandalay says:
Okay, this has all the makings of a cheese fest, especially considering it’s a Lifetime movie. But keep in mind one thing…Fantasia can sing her ass off. So it’s worth checking out just for that if you’re a fan.
Just don’t say I didn’t warn you about the cheese.
