I love this movie....very creative and different storyline....I can't believe the negative feedback...I have this in my collection and I watch it every time BET shows it......great cast.....great music....I want the soundtrack to the film....Cherie looked great as did Shar Jackson.....Marcus Patrick also did a great job and Antwan Tanner was phenomenal...I look forward to the next film that Cherie does should be another classic film....say what you want but BET is playing it heavy....can't too many movies say that....I don't get the racist overtones people talk about though....it is typical everyday life....the writing was also great for this film.

Remember those days when independent black filmmakers were making these terrible, extra low budget, poorly executed movies and Starz used to air them, such turds like Nothing' 2 Lose (2000), G (2002), and almost everything from Maverick Entertainment? I guess these type of films are still being made.This film is atrocious in every way. The camera work was boring, uninspired and inept. The lighting was flat and in most cases, nonexistent. The writing lacked plausibility and depth, with the most unmotivated, unlikable characters in the history of film. The editing was sloppy. The performances were melodramatic. Too much arguing, forcing conflict and drama in scenarios where there clearly wasn't any.Whoever said the film is racist is right. The white wife was treated worst than anything I have ever seen in this genre of movie. The black people got away with everything from totally disrespecting the white wife in her own home to slapping her while she was pregnant. I truly believed that the writers wrote this steaming pile to vent their obvious hatred for white women. Well, their effort was an epic fail as I ended up only caring about the white wife.As for Vivian, the so-called protagonist, I was praying a building would fall from the sky and land on her, crushing her like the little roach she was.Every thing about this movie was insanely absurd, especially the ending. There wasn't any redeeming factors or any justice, morally or figuratively. It was just a racist, idiotic waste of HD files that shows how messed up black people are.

This is an embarrassment to African American movies. It was on twice within 24 hours. I thought I fell asleep on something, so I watched it through the second time. It was just as ridiculous the second time as it was the first. Too much happened within a 2 year period. He was so in love, and the grieving period had to be very brief for the pregnancy. This was not real at all. Living under the same roof was plain "nasty" of both women. I loved Cherie in the sitcom "Family Matters," but I've lost all respect for her after seeing this. I can't find enough adjectives to describe how degrading I think this movie was : Ludicrous, ridiculous, ignorant, ghetto, racist etc. I lived during a time when there were no black faces on the TV. This set us back to Pre- Civil Rights period.

I just watched this movie on BET. I was disgusted throughout and had to turn it off when the characters, Vivian and Marcus, start professing their love for each other at the hospital bedside of his critically ill wife, Jenny, WHO JUST GAVE BIRTH TO MARCUS'S CHILD. I was disgusted, shocked and appalled. I don't understand why the writers, Cherie Johnson and Charisse Edey, thought that this was the best resolution for the circumstances in the movie. It's as if they have some warped sense of justice. Furthermore, if the writers wanted Vivian and Marcus to reunite, they should have made the Vivian character more appealing to the audience. Instead, she spends most of the movie sleeping with Marcus and mentally and physically terrorizing Jenny (who is pregnant) which ultimately caused the poor woman's demise. The Jenny character is an unwitting victim of Marcus's infidelity and Vivian's vindictive and childish behavior. There are so many great writers who can't even get their stories produced because they lack the right contacts. I don't even know why or how this movie received the funding (though apparently minimal based on the poor quality of the production) and the "okay" to be made and ultimately televised to apparently disgust the viewers. BET! Can you hear me?! Evolve! Grow! Be More Selective! You can do it. I know you can.
