Watch Double Platinum

Double Platinum is a 1999 film that aired on ABC as part of their Wonderful World of Disney series. This musical drama tells the story of a successful pop singer named Olivia King (played by Diana Ross) and her daughter, Kayla Harris (played by Brandy Norwood), who suddenly reunite after 17 long years. The film also features Christine Ebersole as Olivia's greedy manager, Pam.

At the beginning of the film, we see Olivia King as a superstar, living the high life and performing to sold-out crowds around the world. In a flashback, we learn that Olivia had Kayla when she was just 18 years old, and later gave her up for adoption because she was not ready to be a mother. Since then, Kayla has lived her whole life with her adoptive parents, and has become a talented musician hoping to follow in her biological mother's footsteps.

One day, Olivia's manager, Pam, finds out about Kayla and decides that it would be good for Olivia's image to reunite with her long-lost daughter. However, Kayla is not interested in meeting Olivia and wants nothing to do with her. When the two finally meet, they clash due to Olivia's selfishness and Kayla's anger at being abandoned.

As the story progresses, Olivia tries to bond with Kayla and help her with her music career. However, their relationship hits several rough patches, as Kayla struggles to accept Olivia as her mother and Olivia tries to balance her career and her duties as Kayla's mother. Along the way, Olivia and Kayla learn to work together and understand each other, leading to a beautiful mother-daughter reunion on stage.

The highlight of the film is the music, as both Diana Ross and Brandy Norwood deliver powerful performances with their incredible voices. The film features many songs that were written specifically for the movie, as well as several classics sung by Diana Ross, including "Can't Hurry Love" and "Touch Me in the Morning."

Overall, Double Platinum is an enjoyable film that explores the themes of family, love, and forgiveness. The performances of Diana Ross, Brandy Norwood, and Christine Ebersole are all top-notch, and the music will leave you tapping your feet and humming along. Even if you're not a fan of musicals, you'll likely find yourself drawn into the compelling story of Olivia and Kayla's journey towards reconciliation.
