Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

romy kom I actually loved this movie. Maybe it was the cold weather after work or the music in the movie, but it appealed to me. The cast with Angela Bassett and some gorgeous looking individuals added to the charm of the movie. I must agree that the French speaking was one of the most bizarre i ever heard being french speaking from Cameroon. i could hardly make up what was being said and it sounded as if it was added in the editing phase. Anyway... The story is also a light one but reel. It depicts the mother who will never finds any woman good enough to be her daughter-in-law, the super-protective mother who does not want her child to grow. it also showcases the difference in behaviour, likings... between 2 different socio economical classes of individuals. in between there are a lot of family secrets that get revealed. That is great and presented in crescendo. One is always bent towards finding out what is exactly going on. The music chosen in the movie is just great, and would bring to romance any person you are courting. And of course, weddings are always emotional for me, and T.D Jakes adds realism to the act. All in one, if you have to seduce someone after trying for some time without success, try this movie, it might just work out.

solangebogolina If you truly love someone,AND YOUR HEART ACHES, then this is IT. Also,you'll love everything else: the actors (every single one of them performs so truly that you will either laugh your heart out or shed ... all your tears), the fabulous setting (Martha's Vineyards, and the gorgeous houses...), the pictures are amazing too( Sony HD pictures, mentioned in the credits!!), the beaches, and oh.. the music, god so many beautiful soul songs (and not only), no wonder black music is the best !I have downloaded all of them! I loved it, I was touched by several scenes, and of course the beautiful Angela Basset is the reason I watched the movie , always exceptional in her acting. Paula Patton is a natural too , she is so charming and pretty.Watching her made me realize she could easily portray late Whitney Houston in an upcoming BIO ( her smile reminds me of her ). Congrats to the film makers , nice plot, wonderful cast,and sensational music. A kind of Pretty woman style movie, catchy and touching.

mrocco-1 THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS I voted higher than I really wanted to because there is no way this movie is what it's currently rated at which is 4.6. It wasn't a '10' but it was a well written and acted romantic comedy/drama. I actually would not call this a romantic comedy. I would characterize it more of a drama with comedy on the side.I thought the story was entertaining and believable and the actors all did a good job. It has all of the dysfunctional family drama that drives the plot of this type of movie with the prerequisite lessons learned and ******SPOILER ALERT****** happy ending. I am a lover of all things romance and LOVE my predictable Hollywood happy endings. No more french 'slice of life' independent flicks for me.I really enjoyed this move and even cried at the end....so watch it if you haven't. It won't be the best movie ever but I doubt you'll be upset that you took the time.

deeglory56 I am sorry I did not see in the theater. Yes, it covers a lot of common issues, but with a different slant. This to me was different than the movie "Our Family Wedding" because it dealt with black culture from a totally different nationality wedding tradition. This movie deals with culture within a culture. In this day and age so much is available to us with just a key stroke, it is difficult not to touch on what is familiar. We are in an information age so much is not surprising these days. I don't think we have seen many movies who deal with issues about black mothers and how they treat their sons as this one has. Also the touch on jumping the broom and where the tradition came from and what it represented was addressed also and needed for those who don't know. Kind of reminds us that we don't have to throw the baby out with the bath water so to speak. We can include our traditions along with adding changes. Most of all don't give your cookies away to any and everybody! I say this is a good product. Kudos to the producers, directors, cast and crew... thanks for a job done well.
