The talent was there, the story was there,t the directing and editing weren't.
The director's choices gave me no feeling of attachment to the wonderful characters. There was so much infighting Queen Latifah looked like a referee. The male supporting character was billed as "gay," he wasn't. The director needed less blind alley's and more focus on story.
The rising action felt like a lead balloon. I loved the choices for talent and felt like crying when I saw a total failure to use their amazing skills. How can you have a posse full of names like Queen Latifah, Alicia Silversteen, Alfre Woodard, Andie MacDowell, and Kevin Bacon and end up with such a disappointing final product.
I have a final comment; whoever edited this movie . . . fire them! Whoever directed this movie . . . fire them! What were you thinking? This could have been great, but it was a total fizzle. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I thought she was awesome in Bringin' Down the House & Taxi, so I knew I'd enjoy this one. I laughed quite a bit & thoroughly enjoyed myself. Not the most creative story line & a bit predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I would've added a bit more conflict into the story, but that's OK. I think Queen Latifah is truly the Queen of movie-making. She's always on the money with each movie, and the rest of the cast was very well-suited. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It was funny, cute, sad, everything. Loved Alicia Silverstone! I've loved her since Clueless and it was so great to see her on the big screen doing a 180 in regards to her acting. Can't wait to see her again. Loved Queen Latifah, truly a beautiful person. Must watch movie. Hey, even my husband liked it, though he won't admit it, even through all that laughing.
