I caught this movie on Centric channel and was drawn in by the initial scenes of coma wife in the hospital. I wondered where the story was going. But it quickly went downhill from there. If you like stereotypes such as "loud, angry, violent" black woman, "docile, airheaded, neurotic" white woman, and "no good" black man, then you may find this amusing. I didn't. I cringed. It wasn't even a clever satirical portrayal of stereotypes- it was just straight up ignorant and unfunny. Oh yeah, throw in a little violence against a pregnant woman and attempted murder of an unborn child. Coma wife insisted that pregnant wife do vigorous exercise while late in her pregnancy, drink energy drinks (that were presumably caffeinated), and "spiked" pregnant wife's salad with a bunch of salt to make her blood pressure rise. The movie didn't make it seem as if coma wife's agenda was to cause pregnant wife to lose the baby, but if she wasn't trying to make her lose the baby, then WHY was she shown doing all that stuff? It was for a reason, and it left me once again, cringing. The character relationships were inconsistent- one minute pregnant wife is jealous and insecure about coma wife, next minute pregnant wife is confiding in coma wife and trying to be her friend, then next minute pregnant wife is suspicious of coma wife calling her a b---h, then pregnant wife invited coma wife to a fancy event as her date...what the heck?! On numerous occasions Char Jackson's character is shown being "restrained" from "beating" pregnant wife...again, what the heck? Also, coma wife is restrained from beating pregnant wife and threatens that if she is not removed from the house, there will be "slow singing and flower bringing". All the gratuitous violence in a supposed romcom movie was absurd! It's not worth waiting for the ending. Ugh!

This movie started off with a lot of potential. Vivian and Marcus were both very well off, educated people who really seemed to love each other. Then Viv's in a coma and two years later, she's a conniving, evil little bitch who sabotages a pregnant woman's life as well as her child's for the sake of 'true love'.

What is this? What kind of movie is this? What kind of message are you sending along here to black women? Especially that Marcus' pregnant wife is white and Vivian and her friend constantly talk about 'white bitches', 'white slut', 'rich white Daddy's girl', come on! There was a stellar cast and a plot with a great starting point and it went this way? Please.

BET, please, raise the standards. There have been some fantastic BET movies with amazing messages and you had to pull this up next? Just stop it.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie unless you want to be disgusted in some of the things that the human race can come up with.

I was VERY open-minded to watching the movie but everything from the pilot, cast, directing, and everything else, the movie was not good at all.

The movie IS TERRIBLE!!!!!! Poor writing, poor casting, poor acting, poor directing, poor camera shots and filming. I literally tried to sit throughout the entire movie but I couldn't.

I saw this movie late one night when I couldn't sleep and there was nothing else on. This movie is horrible. As one commenter stated the pot of this movie was ridiculous! It was full of stereotypes and asinine clichés. The black women were portrayed as loud, manipulative, and vindictive while the white woman was portrayed as meek, too understanding, and easy to control. This movie was predictable and undeveloped.

I actually like the actors and actresses but they could do nothing for the poorly developed script and the script did nothing for showcasing their talent.
I'm giving it two stars because it did entertain me during my time of restlessness and Marcus looked great shirtless.

I really enjoyed this movie. I feel like they had a great cast. People would assume that this movie is garbage but you have to watch it I promise you love it.

I don't know where to start with all the things wrong with this movie. But hopefully unlike them, I'll give it my best shot.

1. Terrible script full of cliche's and really lame "punchline" type writing on top of a retarded plot.

2. Terrible editing transitions and camera angles.

3. Breaks in continuity and awful, AWFUL "acting".

I normally don't even do reviews on Amazon, but I had to comment on this terrible film. I don't mind being called a hater if that's what you think, but this movie earned every single word of this review. If you don't believe me, watch it for yourself.

P.S. I didn't want to give it any stars but Amazon wouldn't accept my review if it were any less...

This movie looked like it would fun. However, this movie has the most ridiculous plot I have ever seen. The premise for this movie and why Marcus is married to two women is ludicrous. The writers must think the viewer has no intelligence and that this can happen in real life. Without giving away the plot, there is no possible way that you would ask to turn off life support for a loved one and then just walk away. What about the paperwork required to turn off life support? What about a funeral? This movie didn't address these things and instead choose to jump two years after the accident. Absolutely ridiculous!!! That is why I turned this movie off after the first 30 minutes.

The idea is right but the script could have used a little work. Rich girls are usually smart and know what not to do during pregnancy. April plays a dumb "white girl" yet has smart moments where she catches on to what the first wife was doing. The argument in the kitchen could have been better from Aprils side. After all the woman tried to kill her baby!

Ending was terrible. Bottomline is a happy marriage and a family is split up because of the selfishness of the first (and seemingly dead) wife. Ugh

I saw this movie on t.v. and wanted to add it to my collection...it was a great movie and full on laughs.
