If you aren't a fan and like watching bio pics then I guess it's ok but if your a diehard Celine fan it was sooo inaccurate that it's not even funny, I was yelling at the tv the whole time. It just agravates me to no end when they make these movies that they can't even have the decency to follow the timeline, the Meat Loaf bio pic was the same way. I mean really how hard is it to say oh that song came out in insert year and this is what happen instead of having a very popular song that hit in 99 and say oh that was the year this happened when it actually happened five years prior. Arggggggh, sorry just had to rant it just very annoying when they do that. "No Xena, No Xenaverse!"

Very similar to the big-screen Selena movie in fact, or the bios of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Richie Valens, etc that I have seen. But even I noticed something that seemed "off" - I seem to recall reading that her first albums were in French, and that she didn't really even become fluent in English until she was a teenager, for her career. But then 50 minutes of sub-titles might have been a stretch. The surface stuff - her parent's poverty, her insecurity, the ups and downs of her early career, Rene's resistance to falling in love with the girl who was growing up before his eyes, their desire to keep everything secret for so long, Rene's heart attack, even the first kiss at the hotel room door - I seem to recall reading all those in an article in Parade on time. ~August~

To be honest it's me mostly being a dork and since Celine is one of my obsessions lol I know way more than I should about her life and career (kinda like Lucy ) and it's frustrating when you now when a event happened in thier life but in a bio pic it's all wrong.

And while Curly had to leave the act due to a series of strokes, in the movie it seems tragic, with him on his deathbead in a hospital, having to give his brothers the right to carry on the act without him. In real life, they all helped him with his medical expenses, even Larry (who wasn't related by family) and he actually recovered, married one of his nurses, had a daughter, and lived in peaceful retirement for 5-6 years more, although his health never allowed him to return to work. Real life unfortunately sometimes isn't quite as dramatic as drama can be, and so sometimes they have to take liberties just for the sake of storytelling. The upside is that I have a much more positive (if inaccurate) view of Celine now - not that it was ever negative - and am very sympathetic to the rough spots in her life, and am impressed at how her raw talent has made all the difference all along. ~August~
