The ensemble and unselfish work of Omar Epps, Taye Diggs and Richard T. Jones is very enjoyable to watch. Mr. Jones especially is quite amusing as the sharp tongued and quick-witted Slim. As an audience, we get the impression that the actors truly enjoyed the experience of working together. Their camaraderie carried over to communicate the tight bond of friendship felt by the characters. This results in our understanding fully the commitment the men have towards each other and their friendship, but not viscerally feeling the sense of change looming before them that has given Roland his case of prenuptial jitters.
Marriage does bring about change.
God understands this and expects us to understand it as well. God considers the marriage relationship to be a serious commitment. One that requires a man to change the way he thinks and acts by considering another person s emotions and interests prior to making decisions. Had this truth been more strongly illustrated, the impact of the film would have been far greater.
