Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There are things I like about this film, and things I don't like. Derek Luke is terrific. He's a wonderful actor who should be getting more recognition. On the other hand, Paula Patton...well, I'm not so sure. There were scenes where I thought she was quite good, and other scenes where her acting simply seemed sloppy. Her biggest problem -- a sometimes annoying voice. I was not impressed with Ms. Patton.The supporting cast here, though not "strong", was decent. I like Jenifer Lewis, who plays the mother here. I usually like Taye Diggs, but frankly, I felt this role was beneath him. It was interesting to see Trey Songz as a potential suitor here, but I was not particularly impressed. Also interesting to see Djimon Hounsou in a romantic role, although I feel he is better in serious roles. Adam Brody has a decent role here...nothing too deep, but pleasant.The story...well, kinda pleasant, but maybe silly. A stewardess feels she needs to get married, and uses her ability to fly to look for husbands. While all the time the man who is meant for her, she is overlooking. Well, you know the ending.To be honest, there's really only one reason to watch this film -- if you're a fan of Derek Luke.

Montana (Paula Patton), a flight attendant, is approaching thirty and has never walked down the aisle, as they say. In contrast, her mother has been married five times and fails to understand why her older daughter can't get a gentleman to pop the question. It IS hard to see why this flygirl hasn't had her share of offers, for she is beautiful and witty. Yet, men have let her down time and time again. In fact, another guy just deceived her on a vacation to Florida. Turns out this man was married and expecting a child, as Montana glimpsed on a clandestine trip to his house after he thought she left town. Horrors! The only honorable male in her life is a William (Derek Luke), who has been a pal since high school. Will lives across the hallway in their Georgetown apartment building, with his fiancé. No matter, he is always there to lean on when Montana needs him, as his fiancé travels frequently. But, on the day Montana's younger, college-aged sister announces her own engagement, things go into high gear. With the help of two fellow attendants, Montana jets off after former boyfriends, hoping to find a match with the best one available! Is this really a good idea? No! Romcom fans, claim this one soon. It has a great-looking and funny cast, lovely sets, gorgeous costumes, a clever script and a lively direction. Patton, especially, is one very beautiful actress. Naturally, a happy ending completes this winner. What are you waiting for?

I have to admit, I didn't know what to expect...I just thought that I was going to see a typical "black Christmas movie" that was horribly scripted, all the while using a great cast, and leaving me completely dissatisfied with my holiday experience...but that couldn't be more wrong. The follow-up of each cast member has a believable and consistent flow. All the actors seem to have a genuine connection with each other that emanates wonderful chemistry in the film. The men in the film look more incredible than they did in the original film, especially Mr. Morris 'sexual chocolate' Chestnut; and Mr. Taye Diggs' smile is more disarming and brighter than ever.

A story about baggage, the emotional type that people carry for not conforming to society's norms. The film deals with the concept of marriage, how we all are made for it and the attractive leading lady has somehow not tied the knot though keenly looking for her Mr Right and though she went far, she seemed to miss what is good and near. Whilst in the quest, she discovers her no-no's in men and how once someone is an ex, it is best he stays an ex.Ultimately, the question has to arise: do people marry because they want to and are committed to it or because they have to?Whilst it offers a charming and pleasant experience it is not inventive as a story, succumbing to the rom-com principle of Mr & Mrs perfect live happily ever after. Not a bad experience for viewers who go in couples.
