Horrible movie in every sense of the word

All I can say is that any good reviews must have been by friends of those in the movie or who worked on the movie. It's awful. The fact that I took the time to write this just proves how awful.
The acting was bad. The sound was horrendous- you could hear the rustle of earrings and chimes over the dialogue. The photography was bad.- felt like it was shot on a cheap video camera The script was bad. EVERYTHING was bad.
The woman who was supposed to be cheating with the dad....we only say them sneak around once. And why would he sneak around with an artist when he could give her a photo?!? Maybe a dance teacher?
The guy was supposed to be a teacher from Compton but yet they went on a plane to LA. Seriously?!? They shot the parents house over by Santa Monica. Why show a plane? Just drive to the parents house.
Don't waste your time!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie was pretty good--definitely better than I thought it would be. But since I tend to like pretty much anything with Essence Atkins and Lynn Whitfield (Christian too, but I just like looking at him period no matter what he does or says), I figured it'd be worth a watch as long as I didn't expect too much. There are a lot of godawful, ridiculously foolish Black romantic comedies out there that leave me feeling robbed of minutes off my life, but this surely isn't one of them. It had all the really important elements: likable, believable characters with unique stories and perspectives (plus a couple of not-so-unique stories) as well as intensely unlikable characters, interesting and well thought-out plot and subplot, and good dialogue and acting. It was a fresh spin on an old plot, and it even had a few funny parts--like Joe Torry and that crazy song, and Christian acting like he was sleeping on that bean bag. LOL
In fact, the only bad thing about this movie was Denyce Lawton's makeup at the party. It didn't match her complexion AT ALL. It looked like she was wearing a discolored mask!! Why in the world was her face green? Oh, wait...maybe it was supposed to be green to represent "envy."
Um, no. LOL

This movie was a total gem! I had not heard of it until I found it on Netflix and randomly decided to watch because of Christian KEYES!!! I also like Essence. She plays characters that are down to earth and easy to connect with. I did want to scream at her family a few times but overall I was rooting for all of the characters. This is a movie that I can totally watch again. Did I mention a shirtless Christian Keyes? This story is super cute and does not disappoint. I love how they got together in the end. I almost cried tears of joy. Another cute story and another believable class of actors. I wish more people can enjoy the movie.
