This movie has a concept and it's great that it's giving starting actors a chance to shine. I wouldn't say it was a "great" movie.. But it was OK!

it was kind of corny. The overall message of the movie was that you have to be responsible for your actions AND things don't always turn out the way you plan. Usher was kind of corny as an actor ... he should stick to dancing. Sorry, Usher, I love your dancing and singing, but you have a ways to go before you get that Academy Award for your acting skills:) Love, Missy.
