I was looking forward to this movie, best parts were in the trailer itself. Oscar buzz??? I think not! I love Tyler Perry's movies but I think he should stick to what he knows best: MADEA!! almost fell to sleep for the first half, didnt quite get the parts: from ghetto to red carpet and back to ghetto. The trailer makes you think that there would be much more violent scenes as far as Mo'nique goes, but again, all seen in the trailer. Paula Patton is the winner of this movie, not Mo'nique. Good DVD movie to rent, but again, as much as I Love Tyler Perry and his movies, this one sells a bit short.
