A lot of fun.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
This movie is your average movie about a group of friends who are all going through relationship issues (more specifically marriage issues). Fortunately, I like these types of movies, thus my 9/10 rating. The story was interesting, it was nothing brilliant, but it was interesting, although very predictable... but honestly, most movies are predictable. I thought Kevin Hart was hilarious, whenever the topic about his job came up, I always laughed pretty hard. I got more then a handful of nice laughs throughout this movie, and it's nicely blended in with the drama.Mike Epps always got me laughing as well, although his part isn't a lead role... his part is more like a bonus on the side, he always got me laughing too.So yeah, I think this movie blends drama and comedy nicely, it's fairly romantic, but I wouldn't consider it a "romantic movie". But I would recommend this to anyone who does like romance movies, or romance added into movies. I would recommend it to anyone who likes comedies as well.
This is kinda like a low budget version of Think Like a Man. Maybe not as funny or polished but this is one of the better executed low budget black films I have seen to date. While most Black straight to DVD/TV movies suffer from poor production quality and bad acting, this one was surprisingly well made. Kevin Hart was not as over the top as he was in Think Like a Man but he still was very funny. All round good acting but I'd say my biggest problem is the chemistry of the "four friends". I can't put my finger on it but it just didn't feel believable that these four were best buddies. I'm shocked nobody tried to market this one better as a theatrical release. I never even heard of this movie until I was digging through IMDb for movies I haven't seen. If you are a fan of the genre is should definitely be on your to see list.
I really liked this movie. It was a refreshing surprise. Funny and heart wrenching. There was one problem. The movie begins in 1983. The characters look to be between 10 and 12. If they are 35-37 in 2011, then their childhood characters were too old. They would have only been about 7 or 8 in 1983 (how I was). Aside from that, I thought it was a funny and refreshing film that didn't treat any gender like they were the bad guys. I liked that the characters were also likable and caring people and the comedy was great. I would've given it a 10 out of 10, it it had had a better ending. There was also one scene that was COMPLETELY unbelievable (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but it involves two characters and the reproductive center). I enjoyed the comedy and it was heart wrenching to see how one character had been hurt. Still a nice movie. My hubby loved it - and he doesn't go for those kinds of movies.
The only reason I decided to watch the movie is because it had a cast of credible actors. It had a pretty good story line and I laughed more than I expected during the movie. Kevin Hart is hilarious always and Epps was funny too. The only disappointing part is that I think the movie could of been so much better if it had a bigger budget for production. Storyline was OK but the comedy made it not a big issue for me. This was by far a better movie than Jumping The Broom with less than half the budget. The wife and I enjoyed this movie and would recommend to folks looking to stay in and watch a movie on a Friday or Saturday night.
