Omar B @RT25874166 Aug 15 Great movie and cast. Loved the story and the sassy drama. Not sure why people rated it so low. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 20 Funny in 1 hour and 48 minutes. See more azeem h @Azeem1 Feb 16 While it doesn't re-invent the wheel in the romantic comedy genre, there was enough in the performances of the supporting cast to make this a watchable film. Loretta Devine and Angela Bassett are typecast but certainly are the stand out performers. Paula Patton looks good as always, while Loz Alonso is solid without being memorable. If anything that is the film overall solid if unmemorable.

I started watching the movie and within the first five minutes I felt like it was moving way too quickly. Prepare for that to be a theme throughout the entire movie, it moves way too quickly. There's not enough development between characters so you don't really dislike or like anybody strongly enough to understand their words or their opinions. The reason I had high hopes is because you don't see often enough black actors in the entirety of the film, meaning you don't see enough black actors in the entire film as the main cast. On average they just play the side character, the best friend or the comic relief. In this one I was hoping for a good storyline that is often portrayed in romance comedies where white actors are the main theme. It's not that the story was bad it was just that they focused on such minuscule things versus things they could've used to create a bigger plot point, more drama. Her parents not being her parents and her aunt being her mom could've been a huge plot point. But they decided to focus on the future husband‘s mom as a large issue when she could've just been a small issue throughout the film and still revealed the secret. All the small things they decided to focus on takes away from that huge reveal. I feel no sympathy towards the main female because throughout the film she seems to push back for no reason as well as the mother in law seems to push back for no reason. All in all, I would not watch the movie again but it was not unwatchable. The writing and direction of the film needs to improve but the actors were good.

So I had a lot in common with this movie. It does have a lot of characters, too many to develop fully, but it was like a real wedding, lots of people you barely know. It's a comedy, not a documentary. See more Read all reviews
