This is a really entertaining movie (Vivica Fox is GREAT), but Frankie Lymon was only 13 when the title song became a hit. In the movie, he's in his early 20's (at best) .
thankyou sooooo much for postin this movie.. I love how she say "alright, sister im gone get paid" the woman looked at her like get yo ass outta my face!.... lol
I don't know how Frankie pulled those chicks. He looked like Gary Coleman in my opinion. Not a day over 10. It's kinda weird. Lorenz Tate made it look like he was a lot better and older looking than he really was.
So there was no concept of statutory rape back in the 50's, seeing as Frankie was only like 15 when he start messing with Zola Taylor and she was in her early 20's
HEY FRANKIE THIS ELVIS IM STICKING YOU AND BERRY UP IM GOING TO TAKE YOU SHH AND MAKE IT OUR OWN AND WE WILL DIE BEFORE WE SAY NIGGAS INVENTED ROCK N ROLL YALL KNOW WE INVENTED EVERYTHING!!!
HERION THE COINTELPRO OF THE 50'S 60'S AND 70' BEFORE CRACK MOB FLOODS THE URBAN AREAS WITH DOPE AND THE POLICE JUST SI BACK AND LET IT HAPPEN DONT YOU JUST LUV AMERIKKKA!!!
I saw this movie last night, such a joke! It was entertaining at some points but overall, pretty lame & I couldn't help but laugh
I would say he should have gotten a better a better movie about his life, but it would be a typical 'rock star/tragic ending' film. Also, the guy who plays Frankie, uhh he looked too old!?
at the beginning they should have shown some real footage of frankie lymon before larenz tates version because i bet no body knew who frankie lymon was
Wow..the guy who plays frankie looks nothing like him, but still i guess it is hard to get a frankie look alike, still they could have gotten younger.
he was all wrong for the role the real frankey looked like Gary Colman and he had a water head but he still gave a good performence in this .....when he wasent singing lol
@bizarro85101: LOL... water head! That's so wrong... IMDB said that MJ was given the script to read. I don't know how long ago tho before this was made, but I do know when he was a teen there was talk that he could play Frankie during his teen years. Also, RIP Frankie, MJ, & Gary...
Ok, I need to know something...How much of this story was true and how much was fiction? I just watched this movie a few days ago, and did he really do all these women wrong like the movie is portaying? Good movie, anyway!
Apparently either because they wanted to hear our music up close so that they can redo it and steal it, or because we were good enough to entertain them.
Wow I just got done reading an interivew Emira Eagle did and she said most of this movie is not true. She said Lil Richard wasnt at the court oe the funeral. Also that Zola Taylor marrige papaers were dated 1986. Emira said when she first met Frankie she had 2 boyfriends and she and Frankie didnt get together that quick.
This is cool! I noticed that Gregory Nava directed, and Reuben Cannon did the casting. Nava did the movie "Selena" with Jennifer Lopez in the title role, and Reuben Cannon does the casting and producing for all of Tyler Perry's movies.
I wonder will TVONE do an unsung documentary about Franky Lymon. They did one on Debarge, Minny Ripperton, Florence Ballard of the Supremes and Donny Hathaway.
