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 .

Overall, a good flick.
The fact that they did not kill or at least wine bottle Mike after he spilled all sorts of secrets shocked me too.

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.
