I had been trying to check this out for 4 years and just never had the time until I was in Ethiopia. It was such a lovely movie. It had a stellar cast that included Queen Latifah, Common, Paula Patton, James Pickens Jr. Phylicia Rashad, Pam Grier, Laz Alonso, Mehcad Brooks, Michael Landes, and several basketball player appearances. I thought it was funny that most of the time we saw the father he was usually fixing something. Paula Patton plays a little out of type as a woman who just seems to want a free pass in life. There are a lot of good moments that really warm the heart. I recommend checking this out for a romance movie night with your significant other.
