This is a review of the Janet Jackson documentary that is available on Lifetime and A&E.

Meg Ryan has been absent from the big screen for some time. With recent news, confirmed by Netflix, that she is set to direct, A lady's Guide To Selling Out, she is back in the spotlight. Although, there is no word yet on whether she will grace us with her smart humor in front of the camera as well, we can look forward to her direction in this romcom that tackles MeToo networks and the reliable happily ever after that audiences love.
