Average Rating: 
Rating:  - superficial sizzle
Musical bio-pics about this period seldom interest me. However, components of this movie are very appealing. Little Richard is fun, Alexis Cruz does very well, and the four leads are good.
Of particular personal interest is some of the film direction. One shot in particular kept me watcing the rest of the picture: an apparently single shot that starts outside a theater, follows excited teens inside, and swirls around the stage for TWO musical numbers. With all the CGI tricks available ... Read More
Rating: - I love Gregory Nava....this film left a lot to be desired......
One of my favorite contemporary directors, today, is the great filmmaker, Gregory Nava. Nava is known best for the powerful EL NORTE, MI FAMILIA (MY FAMILY) and SELENA. He has great ability to combine warm humor with high drama, and [oftentimes] succeeds in shaping very compelling characters in the great stories he tells. Unfortunately, I don't feel that this really took place in WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE.
Frankie Lymon (Larenz Tate) was a legend, during his heyday. At thirteen years old, ... Read More
Rating:  - Why did I waste my time watching this movie?
I couldn't bring myself to like Why Do Fools Fall in love. But I could bring myself to loathe it with tremendous contempt. A shallow biopic with no style or substance, it barely skims the surface of the Frankie Lymon's life story or gives us any idea of what a rocky road the musician had in his short lifetime. Only a fool could love this mess of a movie.
Why Do Fools Fall in love supposedly details the civil trial three of Mr. Lymons wives have over the royalties for his fortune. That's right wives. ... Read More
Rating: - Very funny, yet sad at the same time.
It was fun to see him happy when he was on his rise, but so sad to see him fall. A great acting job by Larenze Tate. Vivica is beautiful.
Rating: - Great! But no documentary film here!
I loved this movie BUT...know that Frankie got famous at 13! 13 Folks! And died at 26! Soooo...as far as being factual...I don't know. Was he being molested (spell check) by today's standards? Poor guy! I love this music though and basically, who's the victim here, the Gold-diggers or minor, drug-addicted, where are his parents, "Frankie"? Hmmm....enjoy it for what it is...fact plus Hollywood.
