While Monty and the Ivy-League-educated Julia couldn't be less alike, an unexpected romance blossoms, and it soon begins to feel like true love.

    Standard film, mediocre, nothing further, worth one watch or two.

    That's the same name I gave my rape victim.

    I didn't actually watch this - I hate Tyler Perry and his films. I just couldn't resist the title.

    This movie is heartfelt and the cast was extraordinary.
    Idris Elba does a great job stepping away from his more well-known Stringer Bell persona. Though his accent (while not indicative of his British roots is still Stringer-sounding) wouldn't indicate that his character is from...( read more) Atlanta (where the movie is set), his character is still engrossing. Gabrielle Union does a notable job as the female lead, and Lou Gossett, Jr.'s brief appearances give the movie more context and a slight bit more depth.

    If you are a fan of Tyler Perry's plays, you will recognize his approach and the technique to this movie, and though it does not have the cantankerous Madea giving us lessons on life, it still will probably leave a mark on the moviegoer if (s)he goes into the theater to be inspired. Tyler has raised the bar to African American film-making with stories and characters of substance...he has, and continues to receive more "substance" awards/praise for his uplifting vision...note to Hollywood, you other Americans and the powers that be, a change has been brewing in African American film-making to present positive African Americans in positive images all over the world...it's unfortunate that, in 2007, no matter where we excel, film, stage, TV, sports, freedom, is a constance struggle, lest we forget!
