I liked this movie, It has meaning. To me the movies is based on true events that can happen to any family. Good movie to watch, just for information, or enjoyment.
Not Easily Brokeen - Rating: 4/5
For a real change, marital difficulties from a black man's point of view. Our bread winner, Morris Chestnut, has a promising sports career blown up by injury. His spouse goes on to be successful in her own right, while failing to see how he is still impacting the people around him even though he is no longer a million dollar ball player. He continues to try and save his marriage while dealing with a plethora of outside influences including a burdensome mother-in-law. While continuing to help others he manages to avoid the temptation to wander outside his marriage even though it appears to to be over. This one tends to break the stereotype society has of most black men and is well worth the viewing.
A Movie that Successfully Weaves Valuable Lessons Into A Well-Acted, Well-Written Script - Rating: 4/5
I am definitely a critics-guided movie watcher. If the critics do not like it, mainly Roger Ebert, I am not watching it because I have watched movies bashed by the critics and understood why. I decided to violate my rule and watch this movie even though it was not critically well received. This is a really good movie. Once again, this is a really good movie. The men in the movie have to express their feelings and make themselves vulnerable in order to solve their problems. The women have to be honest with themselves and accept that they are not always right. The characters have to be honest with each other, the roots of their problems, and the motivations behind their actions. The cast in this movie is awesome. I recommend this movie to anyone who had plans in life, have encountered complications, but deep down inside you want everything to work out. This is a happily-ever-after-movie because in the end, situations get worked out and we are not used to that in movies these days because in "reality" notthing works out, well, if you do not accept that "reality means bad in the end" message but believe a rough road could end in happy times, watch this movie. You will not be disappointed.
Message from T.D. Jakes - Rating: 3/5
The couple in this movie appear to have a good marriage. The husband has his own business, and he's a volunteer coach for a little league team. His wife is in real estate, and she's moving up the career ladder. But the husband wants kids, and the wife feels children would get in the way. Plus, she is resentful of the time he spends with the little league team. The husband also doesn't seem to take his wife's feelings into consideration. After a car accident, their marriage experiences cracks that threaten to pull them apart.
It did seem to me that too much emphasis was put on the wife having to compromise. Overall, the subtle Christian message about keeping marriages strong is good. However, the script should have put more emphasis on the husband making bigger efforts to meet his wife halfway.
This Is WHat FIlm Has Ben Missing - Rating: 5/5
The only thing that i'm upset about is not going to see this movie when it was in the theatre. I enjoyed ths movie to the fullest. We need more films like this. it's not everyday that you get a good quality black film, and if we're lucky we may get one a year.This movie was excellent from beggining to end, and I look foward to TD JAkes writing more, and Bill Duke producing more.
