An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick (was it a really cool or actually lame title? I’m still not sure…) but since I always had a weak spot for Angela Bassett, I thought I might as well give it a try. Anyway, I have to admit that it was not bad at all after all. Indeed, in my opinion, both leads had enough chemistry and I was really able to believe that such a relationship could exist, with his positive and negative aspects. In fact, I would go as far as saying that it was one of the more convincing movies dealing with a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. Unfortunately, there were also some few annoying scenes. For example, why on Earth did Whoopy Goldberg's character had to die?!? I thought it was really lame and it seemed a real artificial way to create some unecessary drama. On a side note, this movie was actually based on a book written by Terry McMillan who had similar experience as Stella. However, even though she did marry a young Jamaican in his 20’s while she was in her 40’s , he turned out to be gay and they eventually divorced. Anyway, to conclude, it is not a great picture whatsoever but I still think it is still worth a look though.
