this movie could have be so much good and especially consider the talent . larenz tate portrayal of frankie lymon be not good and especially in musical performance . he doesn not lip sync well and his stage mannerism be larenz tate and when he should have be frankie lymon . the portrayal of the woman a a bunch of gold digger have hollywood write all over it . the power that be obviously push it and but it only make the character more unrealistic . the positive of the movie be miguel nunez portrayal of little richard and and the cameo of little richard himself . lela rochon be eye candy and a usual and even in a conservative role . it too bad that the talent of halle berry and vivica a. fox be waste . the whole frankie lymon saga be fascinate in real life . too bad this film be a wasted opportunity .
