brilliant actors, brilliant editing
... View MoreA bit overrated, but still an amazing film
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreI love this movie....very creative and different storyline....I can't believe the negative feedback...I have this in my collection and I watch it every time BET shows it......great cast.....great music....I want the soundtrack to the film....Cherie looked great as did Shar Jackson.....Marcus Patrick also did a great job and Antwan Tanner was phenomenal...I look forward to the next film that Cherie does should be another classic film....say what you want but BET is playing it heavy....can't too many movies say that....I don't get the racist overtones people talk about though....it is typical everyday life....the writing was also great for this film.
... View MoreRemember those days when independent black filmmakers were making these terrible, extra low budget, poorly executed movies and Starz used to air them, such turds like Nothing' 2 Lose (2000), G (2002), and almost everything from Maverick Entertainment? I guess these type of films are still being made.This film is atrocious in every way. The camera work was boring, uninspired and inept. The lighting was flat and in most cases, nonexistent. The writing lacked plausibility and depth, with the most unmotivated, unlikable characters in the history of film. The editing was sloppy. The performances were melodramatic. Too much arguing, forcing conflict and drama in scenarios where there clearly wasn't any.Whoever said the film is racist is right. The white wife was treated worst than anything I have ever seen in this genre of movie. The black people got away with everything from totally disrespecting the white wife in her own home to slapping her while she was pregnant. I truly believed that the writers wrote this steaming pile to vent their obvious hatred for white women. Well, their effort was an epic fail as I ended up only caring about the white wife.As for Vivian, the so-called protagonist, I was praying a building would fall from the sky and land on her, crushing her like the little roach she was.Every thing about this movie was insanely absurd, especially the ending. There wasn't any redeeming factors or any justice, morally or figuratively. It was just a racist, idiotic waste of HD files that shows how messed up black people are.
... View MoreI just watched this movie on BET. I was disgusted throughout and had to turn it off when the characters, Vivian and Marcus, start professing their love for each other at the hospital bedside of his critically ill wife, Jenny, WHO JUST GAVE BIRTH TO MARCUS'S CHILD. I was disgusted, shocked and appalled. I don't understand why the writers, Cherie Johnson and Charisse Edey, thought that this was the best resolution for the circumstances in the movie. It's as if they have some warped sense of justice. Furthermore, if the writers wanted Vivian and Marcus to reunite, they should have made the Vivian character more appealing to the audience. Instead, she spends most of the movie sleeping with Marcus and mentally and physically terrorizing Jenny (who is pregnant) which ultimately caused the poor woman's demise. The Jenny character is an unwitting victim of Marcus's infidelity and Vivian's vindictive and childish behavior. There are so many great writers who can't even get their stories produced because they lack the right contacts. I don't even know why or how this movie received the funding (though apparently minimal based on the poor quality of the production) and the "okay" to be made and ultimately televised to apparently disgust the viewers. BET! Can you hear me?! Evolve! Grow! Be More Selective! You can do it. I know you can.
... View MoreI really can't believe I watched that!The previews were misleading, making you think that it was some light hearted comedy, but the previews were the best that it gets. I did not see it as a comedy as they claimed. The ending was terrible too! Clever title though, I see why they called it what they did. That was the only good part of it.There was so many ethical things wrong with this story. The story should not have allowed the two people to sleep together, it was "happily ever after" for the two who ended up together, even though he was basically cheating on his current wife. Why couldn't the writers make him man up to his current wife before he got back together with his first coma wife. And it wasn't coma wife's fault that the woman fainted after giving her soda and over-salting the pregnant wife's food? Is that supposed to be funny? Is that some light hearted joke? I don't think so! Lame!
