Product Description:
Movie DVD
Amazon.com essential video:
Tina Turner, that dynamic diva of pop/soul/R&B from the '60s to the '90s, sings like a woman whose life story is every bit as rough and tough as her voice. And What's Love Got to Do With It, based on her autobiographical account (inI, Tina, written with Kurt Loder) of her years under the iron fist of her abusive husband and musical partner/Svengali Ike, is further proof of what we've always known about Tina: She's what you call a survivor. The movie is sort of the Disney version of Tina Turner's story--a glossy but thoroughly enjoyable, old-fashioned showbiz biopic with laughs, tears, great music, and outrageous (but faithful) period decor, costumes, makeup, and hairstyles. Our Heroine triumphs not only over the rigorous demands of her career in the music business, but finally manages to bust out of her troubled, violent marriage as well and become her own person. This is a movie that'll have you shouting at the top of your lungs: "You go, girl!"--Jim Emerson

- "Tina Turner's Life Story On Film"
I first saw "What's Love Got To Do With It?" in theatres when it first came out in June, 1993. It has been the only movie that I have ever seen where I was very disturbed by the graphic violence and abuse that the film depicts. I knew Tina Turner experienced a very abusive relationship with her husband and mentor Ike Turner, but I had no idea she went through the hell that she did. The movie does contain it's share of violence, but the movie had to be honest in its portrayal of spousal abuse. It ... Read More

This film should be seen by by all the mind control freaks and bullies out there so you see how pathetic you look on screen.

- Compelling viewing
Even if you are not a Tina fan, this movie will give you an appreciation of the evolution of a true superstar. It's not just a statement about the music. You experience the grind of the road, the recording studio, and the hell of an abusive marriage. But after all the betrayal and the violence, you have the rise of a survivor. One of the greatest performers of our time. Tina.
