  a paint by numbers only using a trowel instead of a brush, this film has mostly cardboard throwaway charactors and a message that you couldn't miss with both eyes closed. Said message, all wrapped up in a nice religious bow, seems to be that the only true relationship can be found by submitting to the procreational urges of your man (in other words, here's a film for all you religous right - feminism be damned - sit down, shut up, dumb down, feed your man dinner, give him what he needs in the sack, and bear him children - it's your duty and the only path to happiness - what drivel). The acting here is solid by the males, but very uneven, especially by the female lead - although she is given a Herculean task considering the script. Loose ends abound as well as superflous charactors (the luke warm IQ friend is a head scratcher), and set scenes that seem to come from out of nowhere (hey, I know, I'll head down to the basketball gym, because I just know I'll find the bitter alchololic who won't let his son be on my little league team). In a final, almost self admission, the script writer virtually writes off the physical therapist in a totally unbelievable scene where she, while still grieving the recent loss of her son, gets consoled by the male lead (who has "feelings" for her) and then all of a sudden turns all lusty on him - only for him to turn away and be all noble (since he's just now decided to return to his wife - you gotta be kidding!!!!). The writer has taken a strong and one of his more fleshed out charactors, and then had her turn totally out of charactor - only to finally bury and forget about her (after all, she's just a single woman and doesn't fit into the church marriage theme), as she forgives his "I can't do this" refusal with a simple "I know" - holy!!!!, if you "know" why did you make a move on him in the first place!!! AAAAAARGH!.

  I saw this multi - dramatic motion picture and was emotionally moved as well as spiritually enchanted with the outcome of how this couple watched their trust and devotion in the vows of their marriage gets challenged to the max to the brink of collapse. See this, it is so vividly real....yet believable.

  A little preachy and cheesy at times but it's actually a decent film for the most part. Good performances by Chestnut and Henson. Kevin Hart was entertaining but kind of stupid. With a better director and better writing it could have been a good film.

  Here is an interesting movie that centralizes on love, faith, temptation, resentment, and estrangement. A husband and wife are sorely tested in this movie when the husband?s dreams of playing professional baseball is shattered when he is injured, and begins to set himself up for reality as he mentors and coaches a boys? baseball team while trying to run his own business. The wife, on the other hand, works very hard and is dedicated to achieving all her dreams and living a great lifestyle. As this is constantly a strife, it doesn?t become prominent until she is physically injured in an auto accident and her bitter mother comes in their home to help her recuperate. She becomes a part of the disagreements, and soon begins to concoct a plan of her own that has her daughter following her footsteps. The arguments become a consistent problem, and soon the two are questioning whether their marriage is worth saving as the husband soon meets another woman who is ultimately unlike his wife, in every way. Morris Chestnut, Taraij P. Henson, and Jenifer Lewis stars. Worthy!
