Featured review
Thank God for Angela Bassett
I remember loving this movie in its entirety when it first came out - mainly out of bias of my love for Paula and Laz. However, I just watched this movie again and, while I still absolutely love Paula and Laz, I realize this movie has a lot of imperfections. I understand that the writers probably felt a need to make a simple rom-com multifaceted, but Meagan Good's and dude's sideline storyline was unnecessary and added absolutely nothing to the story. Deray's storyline could've been excluded as well. Not to mention, his character was pretty annoying. I didn't necessarily appreciate the wedding planner's racially-tinged jokes - not because they were racially/culturally-charged, but just the fact that they were simply not funny. As for the acting, it was wince-worthy then, and it's wince-worthy now. That especially goes for Paula Patton, although I hate to admit it. Angela Bassett's and Mike Epps' acting, however, provided some relief. We all know you honestly can't expect much from a family-clash-at-wedding rom-com, so this one is pretty standard. The only items that really add shallow dings to the movie would be the acting and the unnecessary extra elements/storylines added. Other than that, it's a decent, feel-good movie that's worth a watch at least once.
