Summary: Union's Best Performance Yet
Review: You have to love modern-day depictions of Shakespearian classics. This fun-loving comedy was the perfect treat after a stressful week at work.

I have to admit that the first ten minutes--a long time in cinema--were rough. I was concerned about the success of this movie because the script was defintiely weak. But, they pulled through in the end with the non-stop laughs, brilliant acting of Union and Smith and the unmasked vulnerability of a "ladies" man on the big screen.

This is the first time I have ever seen Union as a three-dimensional character. I enjoy all of her movies, but I have been waiting for her to really showcase her talent. She did in "Eva" and I thank her for it. The other ladies were mediocore at best. The guys were terrible. They overacted and failed to convince me that they deserved to be in this film. I have definitely seen better.The film was at its best when the screen was occupied by Union and Smith. They're chemistry was believable and their relationship progressed logically.

If Union, and other rising black stars want to be taken seriously and really receive credit for their skills, they need to stop making cheesy black movies. The black community loves them, and a large portion of white America does, too. But, they won't receive awards or true success if they limit themselves to films that don't get much support or have weak scripts.
