I was so excited about this movie. As a mixed woman who has struggled all her life with loving her hair , this movie felt made for me.
The movie is cute , typical , kind of obvious story line ..which , I love my typical rom coms. While this isn't a rom com ,& it's about loving yourself , it felt more about her still molding to fit a man , vs truly finding and loving yourself.
*spoiler alert * she does "find" herself , but it's only in the last seconds of the movie do we see her alone. No man to define herself by. I liked the hairdresser man don't get me wrong , but she jumped from "perfect identity wih perfect man " to "natural woman with natural man". There was no time frame of discovering herself , it felt like watching her discover herself only through men. If this had dived deeper, it would have felt more satisfying and true.
Side note. The pool scene should have felt more deeply satisfying , but I get what they were trying to get at.
The emotional depth wasn't there for a self love story line, but it was a good 6 out of 10 Friday night movie.
