I'm really starting to get disappointed with Morris Chestnut and
his movie role choices. He is really starting to be type cast. Starring in the
same role in all his movies. The trailer for this movie felt so reminiscent of
The Perfect Guy, which a complete fail. The only reason I decided to give this
one a chance was because of Regina Hall, who I adore as an actress. I wasn't
expecting anything great from this film. If anything at least I knew I would
get a great performance from Hall, and possible get the chance to see Chestnut
shirtless, which is close to a win win...lol
First off let me
say I enjoyed the performances. Hall was great, Chestnut was average and the
newcomer Sinclair was pretty good as well. However this movie was nothing
groundbreaking. But what really killed this film was the story and directing.
There were a few irrelevant plot lines that only took away from the story.
Romany Malco's character seemed irrelevant, as well as the surrogate's
boyfriend. The build-up in this movie took forever and climaxed quickly at the
end, but also let the audience baffled and unsatisfied. This movie was a little
unfocused and dragged on longer than what was really necessary. It was getting
so bad towards the end, it felt like no one really knew how to end it. Which is
why the movie felt so incomplete.
There is really
nothing great to see here. At least nothing you need to run to theaters to
see...unfortunately. This story has been done before, but done better. Its
unfortunate these performances were wasted on such a lack luster film...oh
well...C-
