Sabrina Watson: Well, we'll pass. I mean, Reverend James, Jason was sent to me. He's my soul mate.

Don't Believe What Others Say, See It For Yourself
26 May 2011 | by jclass-868-571839 – See all my reviews

I thought this was going to be another one of those boring date movies that I must see to make my girl feel good. But, it turned out to be rather good. The story flowed well with good acting by Angela Bassett and the cast did a good job as well. With a nice mixture of drama,comedy and even a few twists. Enjoy the movie for yourself. I can never understand what other critics are actually looking for when they preview a movie. As long as I can feel the characters and not worry about when the credits will role then it is a decent movie. I must say it is nothing worthy of an Oscar nomination but its definitely worth the price of admission.
