Review: Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart DVD

This is your basic made-for-TV movie that doesn’t really offer anything new and being based on Braxton’s own memoir, skewed one way thus is a bit biased. Still, the performances aren’t half bad led by newcomer Lex Scott Davis and for fans of the singer, they might get something out of this, otherwise skip.
