Jackie's Back Movie Review 1999

Mockumentary follows the stumbling comeback of forgotten pop diva, Jackie Washington (Lewis). Spoiled and temperamental, Jackie is followed by a supersilicious British doumentary filmmaker, Edward Whatsett St. John (Curry), as she prepares for a big concert as everything is in chaos around her. Flashbacks reflect on Jackie's early career.
