I watched this strictly because I saw Keri Hilson who I have always loved but when I saw Kat, Rotimi, Mr. Sweat and some other big names, I was like oooo yea definitely watching.
I enjoyed this movie though predictable but that's typical. I give this a 7 because Keri shocked and impressed me and the cast did really well. I also appreciate the lessons that came with it and the info about Black Wall Street and wholeheartedly believe they still doing their thing. I need to get in with them because a sister need some money lol.
Two things that bothered me which is why this doesn't get a 10. Let's start with Lisa. As of late, I have been turned off by her and the way she has been presenting herself to us. I have loved her since I was a child watching Players Club knowing darn well we wasn't supposed to be watching that movie, ha. I have to say, I did not enjoy her in this role. She doesn't have that motherly, grandma, elderly vibe. Yes I know she's a mother, grandmother and is older but she doesn't carry that energy well so to see her portray this role was awkward...and that wig was horrible. In my most humble opinion, they should have cast someone else, but they didn't so it is what it is. Lastly, the unsatisfying ending. I would have loved to see what took place with Keri's character and her daughters father. I can go on but being I can't remember names etc, I'll just leave it at guessing the writers didn't know how to wrap it up or maybe they ran out of money or screen time, idk. Like did she regain custody? Did he become bitter toward her? And so many more questions apparently won't be answered. You kind of have to draw your own conclusion.
Everyone did really well however. Great movie and I'm excited to see more of Ms. Keri baby acting.
