Feb 1, 2017I was so pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this movie!! The cast played their roles so well I got lost in their characters. I would watch this again - loved it!

Mar 26, 2017Great movie. Well done! The whole cast nailed it. The young actors are very talented singers and actors. The young adults are also great and nailed the real New Edition personalities and swag. I really love the movie and have seen it 5 times to date. Great job!

The best reason to watch, however, is the music and the group’s on-stage performance. Whether or not you were a boy band fan in the 1980s, this is top-quality stuff.

The New Edition Story is an exceptionally well-made, fast-paced, warts-and-all biopic.

All of the cast (Keith Powers as Ronnie DeVoe, Algee Smith as Ralph Tresvant, Luke James as Johnny Gill and Woody McClain as Bobby Brown) attacks their roles with glee and swagger, especially the kids who play the younger versions of the band.
