I am a White woman but I liked the movie. It's funny how, for years, all White cast movies were supposed to be 'for everyvbody' but when an all-Black cast is used, it is regarded as 'for Black audiences'.
Worries about working with a husband to build a business and then have him, later, try to walk off with the business with his 'new love' have happened too often. It should be a warning that, no matter how 'in love' you are, you need to protect your own interests when setting up the business. And you see a married man at your own risk; how much are you going to believe his promises that he will divorce or are you willing to accept it for what it is while it's happening? And how much are you willing to 'lower your standards' just to get a hold on a guy, any guy, so that you are not alone (or should you be strong enough to go it alone if that right man doesn't come along?) And if you're insecure about your looks, can you believe it when a man comes along that truly finds you attractive just the way you are? The problems the women face are universal for women, whatever color you are.
There's been talk about making the premise into a series but now are in doubt because of Whitney Houston's death. They should either make the character's demise part of the story or recast because it could be an interesting series for today.
