You were just distracted by Vivica's weave and how old Lou Gossett JR got.

gotta admit that ending was hilarious!!!! definitely an "aw hell naw" moment.

it certainly was what was that wack ass pick up line that the dl guys would use to pick each other up.

"You got something in your eye...want me to blow it out for you?"

OMG that had me on the floor laughing! This would never work between straight people...not in a million years of evolution and spiritual enlightenment would we use that line to pick one another up.

wait....

do straight people even have pick up lines or do we just use "how you doin?"

It's on again right now, and I've deduced he got a "wandering eye"

And how many times did La really have to say "Scott McKnight"

HUH??? I didn't see no lazy eye. You sure you not getting him confused???

Nope. It was several scenes when ONE of his eyes was looking over Latifah's shoulder. I was like, "WTF is this madness?!!!"

I'm pretty sure he needed distraction in some scenes, especially that sex scene

Well I appreciated the use of Van Hunt songs throughout the movie. And oh yeah, wendy and lisa did the score.

I like the plot of the story, but the stars were mismatched. I have no problem believing Queen La as a romantic lead in a hetero relationship, but her leading man has to fit her. Actually, I find her to be one of the most dependable rom-com black leading ladies in Hollywood (no more or less than Sandra Bullock or Meg Ryan, and she can't possibly be any worse than a Katherine Heigl, who simply bores me to tears)...and i for one am happy to see that there are rom com roles available for black women (or any woman for that matter) who are not a sized 0, and don't always rely on physical comedy or "let me sock you in the head that I feel/perceive I am less or other because I am fat" premise.

Well, that explains Common's fake piano playing.

It was directed by noted neo soul video director Sanaa Hamri, who also directed P's "Call My Name" and "Musicology".

But you know what...that sex scene really wasn't a sex scene if you think about it. All they were doing was looking at each other eye ball to eye ball but there was no girating of the hips or lower torso going on or nothing. They could've had her leg over his body or something of that sort if they wanted to keep it clean. It was just bland and flat...like they were mind fucking each other or something. Just putting that out there.

Shit I PAID to see that movie. I mean it wasn't horrible. Actually it was decent. I mean it was okay. Not $11 okay but more like $7.50 okay.

I support black film way too much.

Y'all just some evil ass mofos. I just watched this movie on Direct TV. After reading this thread I was expecting it to be pure garbage but it was alright. It wasn't brilliant or anything but it wasn't Just Wrong.

Hell, it wasn't a remake, at least, y'all evil asses could be thankful for that.

After seeing it...I can't wait for Madea's Big Ole Happy Dysfunctional Hood Family Celebrate Xmas 8 Months Early.

"Scott McKnight!!!"

It's been a while, and I only saw it once in the theatre when it first came out so I'm a bit hazy on the details but I remember thinking it was alright, didn't expect it to be great, but it was entertaining enough for a lazy Saturday, when I take in a couple of theatre movies.

wait...what? are you sneaking into other theaters after paying for a single admission?

Next thing I know you'll tell me how you bring your own snacks.

Uh, multiple discount tickets and stuff. As for snacks I mean, Target is right underneath my favorite theatre, with popcorn (better tasting) and everything, girls gotta do what a girls gotta do for a long afternoon.

I have to eat while watching a movie or at least sip on soda. Plus Just Wright was so lame...twizzlers just seemed like a nice distraction.

Them muthafuccas cost $4. FOUR BUCKS! But Im not complaining.
