There are just too many negatives in this film.
1. Why are the overwhelming majority of the women in this film pecan colored, with long-hair? A vicious distortion of the 'real life' its supposed to be portraying.
2.The writing one dimensional and is at or below the 6th grade level. Janet Jackson's office scenes were so thin and badly written (phoned-in for sure) I was actually embarrassed for her!.. poor child had nothing to work with!
3.The set-designs, strictly 101.
4. The poems of were a cute artistic insertion but mid-way through became laboriously pretentious considering everything else in this movie had the subtly of a Hummer.
Why do "Black" films still, to this day in age, feel the need to "teach" the most banal life lessons? It's 2010. We've already had domestic abuse & HIV scenarios hammered into us for years already. NEXT!
This movie is an after-school special, for colored people.
