Britney Ever After

source: Britney Ever After

I do occasionally like to watch these cheesy Lifetime original films, and LMAO at them, make sarcastic comments along the way, etc.. and THIS is just one of those kinds of films! I don't actually have a lot to say about this, but saw it off the Lifetime Roku app the other day, and you know the story,about that pop sensation that is Britney Spears; we all lived it in the news. I don't think this movie proves anything other than, no matter how rich and famous you are, "white trash" is still "white trash"... LOL And they could've used more of the guy who played her disorderly, drunk dad, now THAT guy was a hoot! LMAO

I thought this was about Britney Spears...not a 'How to Over-Act every scene' documentary.

Terribly innacurate storyline, awful acting, and the caracters doesn't look like the real ones not even by far. Actually to be fair, the girl playing Britney does look a little bit like her when she smiles, and she does try hard to look like her, but she hardly gets close to it. I understand they can't use her music to it, but could at least create songs close to her style than the crap they came up with. And could dig deeper in the stories insteat of all those superficial happenings. Cleary the person who wrote it doesn't know Britney at all. Why haven't they asked a fan to write it? It definitely would be much better. Well...there goes 1 hour of my life which i'll never get back!

How do you make a movie about Britney Spears when you have none of her music available to you? Well, you get someone who looks nothing like her, you play loose and fast with the ways things happen and you air it on Lifetime. Kevin Federline is played by a guy named Clayton Chitty, a name that I have fun yelling out loud because it's such a great stage name (it's actually his birth name). That's probably the nicest thing I can say about this film, one that looks and feels like a Saturday Night Live sketch stretched out to way too long of a running time. Again, the only songs that are in this are her cover songs, like the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" and The Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n Roll." Sure, they reference her MTV Video Music Award performance, like when she had a snake during "I'm a Slave 4 U." But man, I know that the 1990's and 2000's were cheesy, but were they really this bad? Not mentioned is the fact that Britney's video "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" was directed by former adult director Gregory Dark, whose Dark Brothers team created such 1980's classics as New Wave Hookers and White Bun Busters. He'd go on to direct See No Evil, a slasher that starred WWE superstar Kane.

This movie is ridiculous. The writing is atrocious. It shows all the basic facts that were incredibly obvious, doesn't hit on any of the real blank spaces about Britney's life, and fills in any small blanks around said basic facts with shallow, empty interpretations. It's like the writers have no concept of the human soul. Because Britney has no soul in this movie. And if I hear the actress playing Lynn say "SUGAR" in that atrocious way one more time...

Totally ridiculous. TERRIBLE acting, I felt like the girl playing Britney made her come off as mentally challenged. Maybe I'm not the best person to rate this film, seeing as how I was so displeased and annoyed within the first 15 minutes that I actually shut it off, but for me it was that bad... and I have managed to sit through bad movies in the past...

If you actually watch the film, you'll see that the acting isn't half bad. It's the cheesy "Lifetime Movie Network-style" production that irritates people to the core, that's all. Like with (all) LMNs you're going to notice that it's basically geared toward someone who's about 14 years-old. If you can look past that whole low-intelligence LMN thing, it really isn't a bad film. It shows how Britney was a victim; victimized by a lot of different people and situations HOWEVER she's a strong girl who became a strong woman and a great mom. The one thing she truly loves in her life is her children. It allows you to imagine if you were her, thrown into entertainment from a young age and you suddenly become the world's biggest musical icon and then everyone wants a piece of you. She's definitely a strong survivor. She's smart, she's strong and she is highly talented.

Let's face it, if you do a lifetime TV movie about Britney Spears, without the authorization of her family or her estate, therefore not gaining permission to use any of her songs - you know how it's going to turn out. For what it is, the actress who plays Britney was not bad. But everyone else, including the pacing, editing and directing, was as abysmal as you would expect. Britney's live (albeit lip-synced) performances were iconic, so the lack of them due to the non-authorization of her songs is probably the worst thing. Her meltdowns are intertwined with interviews of her feelings on it - but I had so much trouble trying to identify with her struggles that the film just got more and more annoying. A wasted opportunity.

Britney Ever After is May have a lot of Stuff missing but I enjoyed watching it for some reason.My Favriote character is Natsha Basset who played as "Britney Spears" she may not really look like Britney But I feel Like she connected with her.Like when she said it was a love letter to Britney I truly agreed it was love letter to her a Little bit but the film did have it's issues. Too much stuff missing,Not the real songs,too much sex,the unbalance of the characters and the wrong outfits.But I truly Think the movie was pretty good and I think you should watch it.
