    The energetic and musically talented cast elevates the project by several notches. ... It’s weirdly not detailed enough--Brown’s relationship with Houston is barely acknowledged, and, dammit, they don’t even show one second of the “Cool It Now” video being filmed--and too bloated for its own good, especially in its overly padded third act.
