Watch Chris Brown: Welcome to My Life For Free

Simply Perfect

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This Documentary starts out how he grew up and became famous. A lot of people, even himself, start comparing him to Micheal Jackson, LOL...Give me a break. You will NEVER be as good as MJ, not even close.Then it starts playing the sad, soft background music trying to tell his side of how he beat his girlfriend. There should have been both sides. He got what he deserved. He beat his girlfriend. During the "documentary" hes making excuses, his mom is making excuses, lawyers, friends...Everyone...He thought he was hot sh*t and thought he was above the law, he found out he wasn't. Once a beater, ALWAYS A BEATER AND ABUSER. Its either in you or it isn't. I feel sorry for the person you are in a relationship with now. Then later after he says he changed, then the Good Morning America interview happens, he punched the window so hard it shattered. Thats also what he did to Rihanna's face. Then he gets in a fight over a valet $10 ticket. Then him and Drake bust a club all up and people get hurt. There's still 26 minutes left to the Documentary but I'm turning it off. Once a thug, always a thug. I used to be a fan, but now not a chance. You need to be in jail.

As another commenter mentioned, its like 6 or 7 years too late for this. It would have been right on time had it been only about his music, but a lot of it was discussing the incident. I would have liked to know more about his creative process too but overall, I couldn't turn it off. Chris Brown is extremely talented and yea he made a few mistakes so what.

I found 'Welcome to my life' to be a fair, honest, interesting and touching story! I thought the soundtrack, editing and general production of this film was perfect. I commend Chris for opening up about his personal life and for being real about it. Some of the reviews here are way too harsh and I think their authors would do well to take a long hard look in the mirror. If you appreciate authenticity then this is the documentary for you! Chris brown DESERVES a break and after watching this documentary I hope he gets exactly where he wants to be :)

It's north to impossible to fairly critique a documentary about any active pop stars life and outcomes with feeling the sense of judgement of being told "your a hater" or "it's made for the fans only". After seeing Justin Bieber's and even One Direction's films, I realized that these kind of films are tailor made to not involve uncomfortable conversations that may interfere with their brand. Chris Brown's Welcome to My Life isn't afraid to answer those questions, but forgets to explain why he connected with many in the first place.For about the first 25 minutes, we get a very abbreviated how he shot into stardom, which feels too quickly rushed and underdeveloped given he had a strong 2 year run in 2005- 2007. There's no development of his creative process as a artist which is strange given this was filmed by his filming company. However, A lot of time is spent explaining "the incident", almost too much time that it gets uncomfortable how much he goes into detail of every moment. The biggest issue with Welcome to My Life is that doesn't change the perception that he wanted to put his music first as at least 45 minutes is given to his scandals and controversy, as his music is almost intentionally on the back burner.If your a Chris Brown fan, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this film regardless. But as a documentary where people say "there's Michael Jackson and then there's Chris Brown", it doesn't leave anywhere near the creative impact.
