good movie, 14 January 2009
10/10
Author: omohub2020 from United States

My friend Courtney went to see this movie with me. Here is what she thinks about it. Courtney says: "I like the movie it made me laugh and it was sad but people should go see this movie." She gives it a 10.

I was surprised to find I really liked this movie. I found myself watching it and thinking, "Gee this is predictable" and all the time I was laughing and crying along with the characters. The actors are quite engaging and charming. The movie delighted me in spite of the somewhat corny plot.

Morris Chestnut deserves to get a role in a higher profile movie than this. I have been waiting for him to get a break out role in a big Hollywood blockbuster. He is under appreciated.
