Some things I liked some I did not.

Excellent, a Must See

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie is absolutely hilarious and provides a in-dept view of the emotional and personal crisis that everyone experiences as they grow older. It's characters cover a wide spectrum of personalities and careers that most of us can relate too. Often times our expectations of the future are never realize when we get to "our future". Accepting one's stage in life is a really emotional crisis, especially when it falls short of what we thought we would be doing or would have accomplished at certain stages in life. All this while laughing heartily at Tracy Morgan and Allen Payne, Debbie DeSouza, Erika Alexander, Kadeem Hardison, etc. Excellent movie and aside from one mature sexual scene involving Tracy Morgan(which was actually more comedic in nature) it is free of the usual over-the-top sexual content and lustful behaviors that generally describe young adults.

I have to admit that I was skeptical at first. But I ended up really enjoying this movie. The relationships worked and Tracey Morgan was GREAT! We found ourselves talking to the movie and giving each other "the look" when something crazy happened...Like oh unh uh. Pretty much 50% of Tracey Morgan's lines are good one-liners!Paula Jai Parker's character was very different for her and I have to say it was a dramatic change for the better. Alan Payne is still gorgeous to me. LOL!I understand this movie was scheduled to release but didn't because of delays. I'd actually never heard of it and just stumbled across it Blockbuster.

My boyfriend and I seen this movie about six months ago with low expectations....... and we were thoroughly surprised. We both enjoyed this movie and wondered why no one has talked about it before. This is a movie that has been really slept on by critics and audiences. I personally think it was not featured in the theaters because it did not have any of the "huge" Hollywood Black actors. However, much of the cast has been seen on TV shows or movies before. In fact about half of the cast is not new to the movie industry.What Iliked about the film was that it did not have any of the "typical" Black stereotypes. It was strictly a comedy-romance that centered on a group of friends for a year. We need more movies like this where there is a mostly Black cast but we are not throwing race jokes around all the time.

Synopsis Spoiler! First of all, the title does not refer to someone sentenced to jail. It is a movie about 6 lifetime friends who are all hitting the big `3-0' together during the same year. Each one looks inside themselves to see where has my life gone and what am I going to do with my future. Actually, what I saw was a black Seinfeld comedy. Tracy Morgan, who is one of the main characters, is a struggling comedian just like Jerry Seinfeld. He gives his opinion of what women want in a man in one of his comedy routines. Melissa De Sousa is looking for a man before time runs out. She is just like Elaine in Seinfeld. I don't remember the big problem with turning thirty, however, all the characters in this movie can show you what they are, such as not having fame, riches, a husband, a thin body, and staying young. Their life stories are probably repeated many times around the world. They use a lot of profanity in the movie, which is not necessary. 4/10
