I have never been a big fan of Alfrie Woodard but while watching this movie I realized that she is the most underrated actress in Hollywood. Most of Tyler Perry's serious movies are predictable and this one you can figure out from the very beginning. I do feel that this is his best serious movie to date with "Why Did We Get Married" a close second. Robin Givens is still on the scene and she has held up amazingly well since the 80's. I guess Mike Tyson had an eye for beauty back in the day. Givens is cast in a role she normally does not play and for once she shows that after all these years she can act.
Back to Woodard, she is not the most attractive woman in the movie but her scenes of endearment have feeling and makes you care about her and her best friend.
The ending is typical but there are many loose ends. Rockmond Dunbar, the fantastic actor from Soul Food and Prison Break, is wasted in this movie. I could imagine him reading the script and asking questions about his character. Maybe he just wanted to be in a Tyler Perry movie. There are many "A" List black actors and actresses who do. He is the Spike Lee of this generation.

Verdict: If you thought Oprah and Gail driving across America was cool, then this movie is for you. Everybody else needs to wait for "Madea Goes To Jail."
