Agreed. I really enjoyed the movie, but there was stuff that I just didnt get, and could have used elaboration (Effie being an alchoholic, the whole situation with Jimmy's wife- they had Dawn Lewis on screen for 30 seconds and she didn't talk!).
Overall I wanted more J Hudson and Keith Robinson (yum!) and a better story for Lorelle (going from "get your married hands off" to the sideline chick for 8 years?) would have been nice.
