Overcoming adversity on the way to the top
“Toni Braxton”: The Movie Event” is based on Braxton’s memoir, “Unbreak My Heart,” and stars Lex Scott Davis as the R & B singer. Following the multi-Grammy winner from her discovery by L.A. Reid (Greg Davis, Jr.) and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (Gavin Houston) to her battle with lupus, this Lifetime biopic includes her public divorce, her son’s autism and family struggles, and how she overcame the challenges to become a pop sensation.<br /><br />Biopics about musical entertainers sometimes go wrongheaded, as in 2015’s “Whitney,” which cast an actor who doesn’t come close to resembling the late Whitney Houston and didn’t use a single note of that singer’s own voice. In the Braxton film, however, we get to hear the singer’s actual vocals lip-synched by Ms. Davis. As a bonus, Toni Braxton herself appears at the end playing the piano and singing “Unbreak My Heart.”<br /><br />As with many biopics, events and time frames are jumbled a bit for dramatic effect, but this one follows Braxton’s memoir fairly closely. The film unfortunately glosses over her cult-like religious upbringing, racial politics that caused her to pay her own expenses during her first tour with Kenny G, and battles with her manager that caused considerable disruption of her career.<br /><br />The overall thrust of the movie is inspirational. If anything, it paints Braxton as perhaps too iconic. Everyone has flaws and they tend to show human frailty. As portrayed in this film, Toni Braxton is a legend whose sheer will led her to forge through adversity to the heights of show biz fame.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the unrated DVD release. A digital copy is enclosed.
