This is what happens when you fall out with powerful people that launched you, like Oprah, for not doing your homework. And then you have to make do with trash like this to pay your bills. If someone had given her a proper reading on time, she'd do as she was told and still be on the A-list. This mediocre piece is the proof. The plot's substance is as hollow as a carved pumpkin. There are quite a few better directions into which the narrative could have gone. If this is the best Mo'nique is capable of now, maybe it's time to consider a career outside showbusiness. It's hard to imagine this is the same actress from Precious. What a waste.
