Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
tonibonita Read this book a few years ago, was excited when I heard it was going to be made into a T V movie. The actors and actress pulled you in from the beginning of the story. The movie invoked emotions from angry to laughter I found it hard to keep the tears and bay in the end I found my- self crying. At times I just wanted to slap the father, but by the same token I could see he believed in his heart he as doing the correct things for his family.The lessons learned in this movie are truly blood is thicker than water, ad when life get rough love and pray will pull a family together only making them a stronger unit.I hope Regina King will choose another novel to turn into a made for T V movie she brought the essence of the African American family.
cassdurham-39496 Loved, loved, loved the movie. Reshonda Tate Billingsley wrote a wonderful novel and Regina King directed it beautifully. The story centers around an African-American church-going family whose dad just happens to pastor the church. His commitment to the church is called into question as the lives of his children spiral out of control. Each of the members of the family is going through their own private hell's and must come to terms with their own demons, distractions and issues in order to overcome their circumstances successfully. Coming to terms with their issues is going to cost each of them way more that they ever wanted to pay. If you are looking for a great feel-good movie, this is it. I highly recommend you view this movie!The casting was on point and the acting was superb.
