Janet? ...she was nice to look at for two hours, but I just don't see her as the type of actress to carry a movie. Given her historical stress point (their baby) I expected more range from her.

Tyler's acting was arright, I guess. That scene where he told his wife (foine azz wifey, though selfish) that he was leaving her, where they were walking through their brownstone? tortorous. I sat there thinking, if Denzel Washington was doing this scene it would be off the chain. His range as an actor is deep.

If any of my boys went biaaa.... like Michael did at the table, dude would not have been around for the end credits. foul to the 5th degree.

As kiml122 (I think) said earlier, it didn't make sense for Jilly's girls not to know she got married...I mean if they were that tight?!?

was it just me or was Jilly's dress at the end having to work waaay too hard to keep everything on lock? I mean, I got love for the busty, but dayum, trying to keep focus on the dialogue was at times not that easy.

But then maybe I missed her explanation to her girls, since I sitting in the movie theatre with all yall's cousins talking back to the screen :o:) .

Overall, a good flick.

From my POV, I saw Sheila's seclusion and not telling her girls that she was getting married was necessary to her regaining her essence and her strength. She knew they would be in her corner cheering her on, but it was time for HER to encourage her own self through her mess. What if she had come back before she was ready and Mike tried to holla at her? In her weakened state of mind, she would have taken him back and continued the cycle of mental and emotional abuse. So I totally support her isolation. Sometimes you have to do that to get your head together. And she did in a big way.

In terms of her dress and from what I have seen in Tyler's plays, the attire and wigs are not always the best fit/match for the characters' body shapes.

I hear you but I'm not talking about Michael, but rather her decision to get married. Surely she was settled in her own mind before she did that, right?

As tight as sistahs usually are, that just struck me as odd. All she needed was a quick phone call:


"hey, uh, I shot the sheriff, :p and I'm 'bout to be his deputy.... so get up here." :)

I may go again after church in the AM. I was laughing so hard that I missed what Tasha's character said, "uh uh it was me. I wanted to see how long...." Then, she used her fingers as pistols or something. The man behind me was laughing so hard too that I just really missed that. :D

I see why Oprah's audience laughed so hard. They wouldn't tell us!

Naw Tone, that wasn't me that said it, but I truly understand why they didn't know...she really had to find her inner self and strength...remember she kind of said this to Troy in the diner.



I know was that crazy or what?!!

I had to Google after I posted to see how long of a drive it was approximately just from Georgia to Colorado, approximately 1500 miles. I know it's 500 miles to get from Charlotte to Cleveland which is 8 - 8.5 hours. Ain't no way in hell I would be able to do 1500 miles in one day solo no matter how good the music was and how eager I was to see my friends.

lol.
You all are something.
Didn't that former astronaut do something like this behind the astronaut she was in love with? I know she went MANY miles without using the restroom. Homegirl was GONE! :eek:

Although it was a movie, I guess Sheila was desperate and was willing to do ANYTHING to save her marriage. :rolleyes: :confused:

1500 miles are you kidding me...ok that is so not realistic...I'm laughing right about now.
