Oh no, I can't believe you think my finace' is ugly
. Well, I must admit I was upset with the movie myself. As fine as my baby is, he hadn't quite master the acting in this movie.
John Singleton came to a school in the same city where I attend school, and me and my friends went to hear him speak. When it got to the question and answer session many women asked why he always portrays women as weak and simple, needing a man to dictate their self-worth. They asked why he made it so that Yvette put up with everything like that. His response was that he wasn't trying to put black women in a negative light, but he does know women who are like that. Well, needless to say that did not fly over too well, with us in the room, but he really couldn't say much else. He also said that the reason he casted such a young woman to play his mother was because in "the hood" the mothers are young, but even the older ones still look young. Now I didn't grow up in "the hood", but my hometown is extremely ghetto and not all of the mothers are 5 years older than their offspring. He offended more with that comment. With that being said, I thought the movie was okay, but since that forum with John Singleton I really haven't been feeling him.
