Props to Candi and Todd for making a "low budget" film through their respective companies. However, this is not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination. The "actors" seem like some attractive people who were plucked from the street and given roles, the storyline isn't cohesive, there is no character development, no arc, nothing. What irked me the most is that the whole movie is based on giving someone a "pass" in marriage to see other people, but there was absolutely no reason for this couple to come to this decision! They weren't having intimacy issues or romance issues. It made no sense to see other people just because the main character's mom is meddling in their lives! The whole setup for why they did it in the first place didn't make any sense, and it's what the whole movie is about!
While I think it's wonderful to support your community and people you like from TV, coming on here to give this movie a 10/10 and write things like "great plot and acting!" and "must see!! Keep them coming!" like you've never seen Fences or Set It Off or Brown Sugar, is not doing anyone any favors. Not the producers who may think this is actually worth watching, not the actors who will think they don't need to improve, and most certainly NOT the viewers who are expecting a half decent film. This movie is not good.
I can appreciate wanting to make a flim, but this is a prime example of "just because you have the means to, doesn't mean you should".
