All of this predictability and retreading of the same old formula just makes for one long, stretched-out film that leaves the audience waiting for the inevitable to happen. Oct 1, 2012 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The audience, much like Latifah, is surprised and utterly won over by Common's disarming, nice guy affability beneath the intimidating aura. Apr 8, 2012 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
