5.0 out of 5 stars Great Find!!, September 23, 2007

By	D. Johnson (Buena Park, California) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased this movie and was blown away by the performances done by all the actors/actresses. It was funny, thought-provoking and real. All that. It had a wonderful theatrical appeal that makes the viewer feel as if they are part of a live stage production. I loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone. Bravo, to all those involved in making this entertaining piece.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disgusting, June 17, 2009

By	Samantha E. Berry (Queens Village, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The only reason I gave it a star is because they won't allow me to rate it a zero. I have the same comment on IMDB. Whoever wrote and whoever directed this disgusting low budget joke of a film may they both rot in box office hell. This is the most disgusting, stereotypical, shallow portrayal of black womanhood I have EVER seen and some of the most ridiculous acting I've seen in a while. If the makers are black men, which I bet the rest of my paychecks this year on, they need to be ashamed of themselves for painting us in such a way that doesn't even speak to black women's realities. How many sistas do you know that are actually like this? And I'm sorry but what self-respecting man, black or otherwise would date a woman like the white girl in the film? "I come from a life of privilege and your just a poor black man, I wanna see how the OTHER side lives?" Are you freakin' kidding me? And personally, I think thats disrespectful and stereotypical of white women who actually are married to or dating black men that they love and truly respect. Disgusting. Black or white, if you have any sort of pride, do NOT support this film.-Sy
