Yawwwwnnnn .... zzzz ... snore ... cough ... etc.
I am part of an African-American book and media club. We try to support all A-A entertainment. I was told be another member to go watch this as a movie. Boy was I sorry. DVD is no better.I like Vivica Foxx. But she plays in some lame movies, starting with Booty Call. In this movie, her character kept talking to us (narrating) by looking directly into the camera. This was annoying but was sorely needed for a poorly scripted movie. Also, the upclose camera shots of Foxx showed her as an AGING actress, perhaps too old to be Morris Chestnutt's lover. When will Vivica be a producer/director of films instead of an actress/employee?This movie was supposed to be funny. But what was funny about Morris Chestnutt receiving [bad] advice from his thuggy friends? Also, I never felt that Foxx/Chestnutt are "successful" in this movie. All Chestnutt did was sit behind a desk during "working hours" gossipping with his "homies" about Foxx. Good example for young Blacks hoping to make it in the corporate world, right? Oh, and Foxx? She's wealthy for no reason. During one of her so-called corporate office scenes, she has to "sneer" into the camera again to TELL you she is an executive -- evidence that the script and acting and even background setups were all faulty in this movie.In a leading African American magazine with Fox and Chestnut featured on the cover, Fox mentions her attempt to "turn out" Hollywood by being the leading lady of this film. (Translation: Oh, please, please, Black moviegoers, I need a job so come see my otherwise stupid, little movie!) Well, with a poor script, overdone stage setting and Foxx's swearing, Vivica honey you will continue to be an aging actress. Please grow up professionally.
