Member Rating:  
Terry McMillan and Ron Bass wrote this screenplay based on McMillan's semi-autobiographical best-selling novel (over 2,000,000 copies in print before the release of this film). San Francisco stockbroker Stella (Angela Bassett), a 40-year-old divorcee, has a nice Marin County home and an 11-year-old son, Quincy (Michael J. Pagan). With Quincy off to see his dad, Stella and her best friend Delilah (Whoopi Goldberg) vacation in Jamaica, where she meets sexy, good-looking Winston Shakespeare (Taye Diggs). He's the man of her dreams in every way except one -- he's half her age. Even so, a romance develops. Grammy Award-winning songwriters Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis supervised the film's music and produced the R&B-slanted soundtrack album. Shown at the 1998 Urbanworld Film Festival (NY). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Taye diggs should have spent more time,learning how to talk like a true jamacian. Angela Bassett get an A+ for truly have a grand shape for a 40 yr old women. Whoopi was more than funny. overall if it's raining outside and you have nothing better to do, then rent this movie.

Very disappointing, rather boring movie. It seemed more like a sappy Jamaica travel log than an interesting movie.

I'll watch just about anything with Angela Bassett. Taye Diggs was a plus, but when he wasn't talking. All in all, I really liked this movie.

I love this movie from the beginning to the ending...The music soundtrack is beautiful..This movie is so funny and somewhat sad....The shower scene was my favorite part of the movie...Angela is a outstanding actress,,,,The is a good movie for anyone who are looking for love or just looking for a little excitement in their life.

The scenery in Jamaica and New York was gorgeous. Taye Diggs is ALWAYS incredibly gorgeous. But the chemistry between them was not strong enough to justify them both changing their lives to be together. I was disappointed overall.
