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.

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

I have the dvd and i hope it is as good as the other once that i have order and i no from the rating i think that all of my dvd are great

Your choice of movies where you'll just have to see it for yourself, it was ok nothing special. I really could'nt get into it.

The only great thing about this film was the 5 minutes Debra Wilson was on camera. I've rated this two stars, I did not enjoy this film, but the camera work is mostly okay. Most scenes looked pretty nice.
Very few scenes were interesting to watch, at times watching the ridiculous comedy acting was painful. During serious or supposedly heartwarming scenes I tuned in and out because the boring drawn out dialogue was irrelevant to the story. (As if to show other ethnic groups) "...see? This is how black people act! Aren't they lively?"
An example of this is about 20 minutes into the film, we have a camera shot that is 6 minutes long - nothing in it but two friends (Jewels and Kayla) sitting in their car talking about Kayla's relationship with her boyfriend, and Jewels lack of girlfriends. Realistically, this conversation would take place during the drive to their job. In the film they just sit in the parked car for 6 minutes.

I can understand why the conversation was not filmed in the moving car, maybe it was too dangerous for Joe Clair to act and drive at the same time, maybe there was not enough in the budget for compositing talent to insert moving traffic footage. The point is, I, the viewer should not be pondering why this scene is so lame.
A better solution would be to voice over the conversation showing the car driving to it's destination. I should be engrossed in the story, though I was not at any point during this movie. It makes me sad when I see a mediocre black film such as this. I do have a feeling this was better as a play, but I do not have any desire to watch and compare the play to this film. There is so much more wrong with this film but I do not have the patience or energy to explain them all, so briefly...

not the best dvd but at the end had a better understanding of the movie only glad I purchased it on sale not worth over 5.00

This movie was ok to watch one time but I would not buy it again.

Well you didn't hear this from me it was boring and if I recall after 15 minutes I ended the movie. Therefore Im unable to give a honest review.

I saw the play and liked it very much. The Movies is equally entertaining. Would like to see more works by Anthony Winters

My Boyfriend was absolutely by far too curious in purchasing this DVD, however his excitement was confirmed with satisfactory, the main characters were my favorite! very amazing.....Shipping was exceptionally fast as well. Enjoy.
