Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A Masterpiece!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Angela Bassett was, of course, well-known by the time she made this film, and here she proved once again why she is one of America's better actresses. But the real story here was the film debut of Taye Diggs. As an old white guy, I first saw this film when it premiered on cable, and I thought Diggs was certain to become a popular actor. Now, 25 films later, not to mention an active career on prime time television, Diggs has become just that -- a fine and respected actor with a captivating on-screen persona that just always seems to work.Here it's the 21 year old Jamaican fellow who seduces (and I mean that in the best sense) the 40 year old businesswoman from San Francisco. The romance sizzles, despite reservations, while Whoopi Goldberg provides a bit of light-hearted comedy. The question, of course, is whether the age difference will divide two people in love. And the film does keep you guessing as to which possible ending it will be.Diggs' character's last name here is Shakepeare, and while this film hardly reaches the level of a Shakespearean tale, it's engaging, romantic, and great fun. But that doesn't mean it's all love and roses. True love never is, and meanwhile Whoopi's character is dying. So this is not just another feel good movie; there's some drama here, including making a relationship with a diversity of ages work.I give this film much higher marks than the overall rating here. It's easily worth a "7".

Way to go Stella! This movie is awesome. I really enjoyed watching the part at the pajama party, when Stella was nervous about going. She felt a little old, perhaps out of place, just right out weird about meeting the young Winston. When she arrives Winston begins to dance (kind of by himself on the dance floor) eyeing her and giving her but little choice but to dance with him. (After all, who could resist such a young hottie?) This movie is also special in that it confirms that women can pick up a younger guy, and get away with it, after all men do it all the time. Well, that's enough, just watch the movie and you will see what I mean. Tay Diggs is muy caliente!!!

You know, when you're in the mood for a fantasy chick flick, this IS good. I mean it CAN be unrealistic but if it were a guy (the main character) would it be different than half the movies out there? Personally I tried to turn the darned thing off, but it was 3 am, my night off, and I ended up flaking on the couch and watching it. I liked it. Its nice to have a feel good movie without violence and people blowing each other up. The characters were too perfect, they lived perfect lives, and for me it was nice to get away. Maybe I fell asleep :P but no complaints. I didn't pay to see it, nor would I buy it. Its the perfect movie to watch with your girlfriends, have some wine, and complain about their perfect lives ;) Overall the story line deals with true issues and can make you think about your own life..... Thats all :P

Chick flicks are never good movies. If the movie is any good, men will watch and it therefore will not be a chick flick. (For example, i'm a man and i love Harry met Sally)That said, this is a chick flick. Whoopi is the only thing that makes it bearable.
