Movie Review - "Mama, I Want To Sing"

I was not sure if I wanted to watch this movie as my favourite types of movies are comedies. I don't really read the storyline etc. about movies. As long as the name and actors interest me then I watch it. This time around I decided to see what singer Ciara had in store for me! I must say that I did not regret watching this movie. It was so touching at times and so real as well.

Amara Winter, a strikingly beautiful and charismatic young singer, is on the verge of pop stardom. Raised in the church by her father, Reverend Dr. Kenneth Winter and mother, Lillian Winter, Amara and her younger brother Luke have a very strong bond. After her father's untimely death, her mother is thrust into the limelight in the role as preacher, a daring move that ultimately catapults her to the top of the gospel world. Paralleling her mother's success, Amara soon becomes a huge star in her own right, taking the pop music world by storm. Conflict begins to ensue when her mother is confronted with and unequivocally disapproves of Amara's secular music and videos. Amara must learn to pursue her dreams while both navigating the often treacherous world of celebrity and striving to remain true to herself and family. Amara and her mother must work through their differences realizing that their journeys are not quite so different after all.

I must say again that I absolutely loved the movie and I think Ciara did a fabulous job!
