Steineded How sad is this?
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
romy kom I actually loved this movie. Maybe it was the cold weather after work or the music in the movie, but it appealed to me. The cast with Angela Bassett and some gorgeous looking individuals added to the charm of the movie. I must agree that the French speaking was one of the most bizarre i ever heard being french speaking from Cameroon. i could hardly make up what was being said and it sounded as if it was added in the editing phase. Anyway... The story is also a light one but reel. It depicts the mother who will never finds any woman good enough to be her daughter-in-law, the super-protective mother who does not want her child to grow. it also showcases the difference in behaviour, likings... between 2 different socio economical classes of individuals. in between there are a lot of family secrets that get revealed. That is great and presented in crescendo. One is always bent towards finding out what is exactly going on. The music chosen in the movie is just great, and would bring to romance any person you are courting. And of course, weddings are always emotional for me, and T.D Jakes adds realism to the act. All in one, if you have to seduce someone after trying for some time without success, try this movie, it might just work out.
solangebogolina If you truly love someone,AND YOUR HEART ACHES, then this is IT. Also,you'll love everything else: the actors (every single one of them performs so truly that you will either laugh your heart out or shed ... all your tears), the fabulous setting (Martha's Vineyards, and the gorgeous houses...), the pictures are amazing too( Sony HD pictures, mentioned in the credits!!), the beaches, and oh.. the music, god so many beautiful soul songs (and not only), no wonder black music is the best !I have downloaded all of them! I loved it, I was touched by several scenes, and of course the beautiful Angela Basset is the reason I watched the movie , always exceptional in her acting. Paula Patton is a natural too , she is so charming and pretty.Watching her made me realize she could easily portray late Whitney Houston in an upcoming BIO ( her smile reminds me of her ). Congrats to the film makers , nice plot, wonderful cast,and sensational music. A kind of Pretty woman style movie, catchy and touching.
MLDinTN both families don't get along. The movie was OK but nothing original. Sabrina and Jason are getting married in swanky Martha's Vineyard, and they are about to meet each other's families for the first time. Sabrina's family is rich and throwing the wedding of the year. Jason's mom, Mrs. Taylor, is a tough talking postal worker, whom brings her friend, his uncle and his cousin to the wedding. Needless to say, their lifestyle is completely different from the Watson's. From the beginning, Mrs. Taylor is at odds with Sabrina and her mom and flies off the handle at the littlest of things. She finds it offensive they want her recipes, they sent a driver to pick them up, Sabrina wants her to wear a dress she bought, they don't want to jump the broom, etc... pretty much everything. And Sabrina's mom doesn't think Mrs. Taylor is sophisticated enough. The two families arguing soon leads to Sabrina and Jason arguing. Then Mrs. Taylor over hears a family secret and just has to tell the hurtful secret to Sabrina. But will they still get married? FINAL VERDICT: I say just watch it if you like wedding movies.
Blackdoll24 I really enjoyed this movie as it portrayed black people finally in a positive light. Although the idea of getting married in six months to a guy you hardly know, and never have met his family is to me somewhat realistic. The movie did focus on issues which are prevalent within the black community which sometimes divides them.It was also nice to see well dressed cast as well, there were a few outfits I would have loved to wear. One quarm would be Paula Patton, she did portray the character as rather ditzy typical 'Blonde' character if the cast were all 'white', but otherwise she managed to keep the character somewhat realistic to American standards (I am British) In summary, it's a good movie which made me laugh and I would recommend to others and would definitely watch again.
