If this movie were made today we'd have a hundred posts here about "feminist bs and crap" about how all of the male characters were scum and how sick the posters are of female empowerment movies... well... maybe not seeing as how all of the male bad guys were black... and all of the white guys were benevolent...
anyway... i don't like ross... i'm well versed in her history and what kind of person she actually is... she's pretty phony... and not believable as a repentant mother... and she can't act... i am amazed at how she gave such a masterful performance in lady sings the blues... she was really robbed of the oscar... and how she gave such a wooden delivery here... i guess directors really do earn their money...
brandy was pretty good... i read one review that said that brandy wasn't as pretty as diana in her youth... that reviewer must have been a women... because i have never heard a man describe brandy as anything other than gorgeous... i read another review that described the music as pitiful... the songs written for the movie were pretty commonplace... but the songs "almost doesn't count" and especially "have you ever" are songs for the ages... it's worth the price of admission to see brandy perform them...
all in all... not a movie that will go down as one of the greatest... but enjoyable for a saturday afternoon...
