Dartanyan Edmonds, Dorian Gregory, Duane Martin

A trio of men plot to free themselves of their mates' unattached and seemingly omnipresent older sister Eva. Eva has a sweet face but a steely disposition: a few choice words from her and a once-confi...( read more  read more... )dent man becomes a virtual basket case. Eva has been in charge of her younger sisters ever since their parents died, many years ago. The mere fact that they're married or engaged hasn't deterred her one bit from continuing to take charge of their lives. But the cost of putting family first has been the deferral of her own dreams--and the assumption of a harder-than-nails personality that no man has been able to crack. Eva's uncanny ability to interfere with her sisters' affairs has not endeared her to their spouses and partners. The men would also like to close out and divide the family trust fund that Eva oversees. So they concoct a simple plan: compensate cash-strapped ladies' man Ray Adams to romance and distract Eva from her financial duties. Sparks fly between Ray and Eva--but the plan goes awry, leading to surprising consequences and complications

    I had no interest in seeing this movie, at all. The trailers on T.V. made it look like a bad movie. I watched it one night, because there was absolutely nothing else on, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a sweet movie to watch, if you have some time, to waste.

    Sorry, as interested as I was to see how they would reinterpret the Bard, I couldn't sit through this....I got bored. :(

    I love this little movie. Sure, it's canned and predictable. But it still has charm. I love the support network the sisters have built up to deal with the loss of their folks. I'm envious of it.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Dawdles amiably and can't quite decide what it wants to be. full review

February 7, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It proceeds so deliberately from one plot point to the next that we want to stand next to the camera, holding up cards upon which we have lettered clues and suggestions. full review

February 6, 2003
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Despite director Gary Hardwick's stock sitcom scenarios, LL Cool J, the rapper-turned-actor, does a great job as a leading man Lothario. full review
