Storyline

Violet Jones (Lathan) doesn't realize it at first but she's dismayed by her superficial, "perfect" life. She has everything she thought she'd need - a successful career, friends and a boyfriend who is a handsome doctor (Whittle). When her fairy tale begins to unravel, so does she. This movie shows what a beautiful, smart, successful woman can do when she starts to look inward instead of outward! Written by Kim Poulton

Violet: Listen, women can wear weaves if they want to. They can straighten their hair if they want to. It's a choice. There's nothing wrong with that. But we also need them to know that there is beauty in their natural hair.

Fantastic
22 September 2018 | by mrslathan09 – See all my reviews

Great! Sanaa Lathan is great! She does an excellent job depicting how women fall under so much pressure to be perfect. Black women are often stereotyped on how their hair looks and put in a box. This movie is funny and has a good plot. I recommend it
