Mama Flora's Family is a really good movie Erika Alexanders character get'spregnant by Shemar Moore's character who like to sleep with women and leaves them. After she has the baby he keeps the baby since he is the slave owners son, she has no choice but to stay out of his life. So she goes on with her life and has more kids and not a day goes by that she doesn't think about the son she left behind. But the ending is really good. It has a very happy ending. All the actors were really good, especially Cicely Tyson, Erika Alexander, Shemar Moore, and Queen Latifah to name a few. well thanks for taking the time to read this review. jtk504

This movie was phenomenal. Originally I rented it because I wanted to see all the movies that my favorite actress, Erika Alexander, had been in after I saw her in 30 to Life, along with the usual t.v. shows, etc. I had no idea what this movie was about but I was glued to my television the entire time and ended up returning the movie on the very last day it was due, and I'm so quick to return movies the next day. I bought the movie the next day! I don't understand why the pigeon/birthday scene was repeated twice, but other than that, I loved this movie!

I must have cried or come close watching this movie about a dozen times. This is a great movie about a strong lady who has survived so many upheavals in her life as a poor black woman who never loses her sense of self worth or the importance of integrity. Cicely Tyson is wonderful as always, and Erika Alexander has the ability to act well without saying a word as the young Flora. It takes a great actress to speak with her eyes the way Alexander did!

A wonderful mixture of heartbreak, warmth, and hope fuel this story along, and Queen Latifah also proves herself to be one heck of an actress. I dare you to sit down and watch this wonderful movie that approaches individual accountability the right way without crying and smiling a lot. It's a rich story anybody can learn a lot from about making mistakes and taking steps to correct them.

The best drama of black American history ever!! It is about a black woman named Flora and about her troubled relationship with her family from 1895-1970. Flora and her family face life in the Jim Crow South, WWII, Civil Rights, Vietnam, and Black Panther eras. I personally was interested with Flora's mixed relationship with the white family who employs her. Mama Flora's Family promotes the important values of family and personal responsibility, which anyone can learn from. A must see!!

I have viewed many movies, Mama Flora's Family is truly one of the best I've seen in a long time. The movie displayed emotions that seem to have been forgotten in most families. Flora had a mission and set out to put her family where they needed to be no matter the cost. The Writer had to have been deeply inspired to write sure a epic movie. Thank You for presenting such a classic for good CLEAN Family Viewing.

I loved this movie from the first time I watched it. I already purchased the movie once,but let someone else borrowed the movie and never got it back. When I seen it was for sale on Amazon I couldn't wait to purchase it. It was getting harder to find this disc ANYWHERE (even in the big chain stores like Walmart,Target,etc.)Erika Alexander,Ms. Tyson,Queen LaTifah,Mario Van Peoples, and Blair Underwood all are outstanding actresses and actors. This movie tells about the strengh a mother has to keep her family together. It will make you cry,angry, and happy throughout the entire movie. A great purchase for your dvd collection.

This is an absolutely fabulous movie for family of all ages or any history buff. Well done, well received, and in perfect condition.

I SAW THE NETWORK PREMEIRE OF THIS MOVIE A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I FEEL DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH IT. THE MOVIE WAS SO REAL, AND IT SEEMED NOBODY WAS ACTUALLY ACTING, THAT'S WHEN A MOVIE IS REAL GOOD. CICELY TYSON DELIVERED A ACADEMY PERFORMANCE AS ALWAYS, AND QUEEN LATIAFAH WAS JUST AS GOOD. OTHER THAN SET IT OFF THIS IS HER BEST ROLE YET.

I experienced this movie for the first time just today and I found it to be remarkable. A depiction of a true and tried black family at its finest and darkest hours. A MASTERPIECE!

This Movie Has Queen Latifah and Cecily Tyson! Two Really Great Actress! This movie is about how Younger people don't know anything about there Family History! It made me cry! Right after I watched this I asked my Grandfather about His past and Experiences!
