Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An Okay Movie!
Review: This was not the movie of the year, not bad but not good, it was okay. The story is du "Dejas-vu", very cliché. The acting performance of Diana Ross was good, it seem real, more then the one of Brandy but Brandy was not so bad. Their performance as a singner were both great, good music in this movie. If you are a fan of Diana Ross or Brandy you may love the movie, for others it's just a nice simple movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie was very moving and strong!
Review: Well as always BRANDY was fine as ever and very good at waht she did. Overall i think the movie was excellent with a few exceptions. That song that Brandy and Diana sing in the end is da Bomb. They should make it a single. I LIKE! :)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What a load of Hogwash!
Review: What a disappointment. The story was weak, trite and predictable... utter rubbish! This film is a throw back to the mindless 'boy meets girl' pap that was being churned out by middle of the road America in the 1980's. Was the script written in someone's lunch hour? I thought both Brandy and Diana Ross did their best with what they had to work with; oh c'mon ladies, you both have done far superior work than this - No more PLEASE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Double Platinum - A Great Movie!
Review: When I first heard about the movie, Double Platinum, I was a bit reluctant to watch it, as I knew it was a movie that was specially made for TV, and I have been disappointed by a lot of made-for-TV movies in the past, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

Diana Ross and Brandy are both wonderful in this movie and you couldn't picture anyone else playing their roles. As mentioned in the main review, the story revolves around Olivia King (played by Diana Ross)who chooses to leave St. Louis and go to New York in order to better pursue her career of becoming a singer. As a result, she leaves her baby daughter, Kayla (played by Brandy) behind.

18 years later, Kayla wins a competition to meet Olivia, whom she doesn't know is her mum(and is one of her biggest fans) and from there the story progresses. The movie revolves around Olivia and her amibition to get to know the daughter she never knew, by helping her start her own career as a singer. From there, the viewer goes through the highs and lows as seen through the eyes of the two characters and by the end of the movie you will believe that love is all that matters.

Fans of Brandy will recognise the songs, "Almost Doesn't Count" and "Have You Ever" during the course of the movie. For me, the main highlight was both Brandy and Diana Ross singing "Love Is All That Matters" at the end of the movie.

It's a very heart-warming, feel-good film that is worth buying. You won't regret it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too, simple, too predictable.
Review: When I saw Diana in this new movie, I supposed this will be as best as "Mahogany" but what a disappointment "Double Platinum" was. The story in its first 15 minutes takes an interesting plot, but suddenly Diana runs away and the story too, it lost its interest for me. Tears that don't seems real, onions can make it more close to real. A drama that don't seems like that. Even the songs are not fitted to the actions. Erratic plot of an interesting theme.
