Notes et avis

Why couldn't they have changed the story? They were throwing jokes and they're landing all over the place. I don't understand why they would carbon copy the movie when it even says this is a "contemporary take". Do yourself a favor watch the first one. It's free on most devices. Then come back and watch this one. But I wouldn't pay 10¢. Find it for fee. Also before anyone pulls the race card. I'm bi-racial so don't tell me it's a white opinion.

I've honestly not watched it yet. But I want to. I'm so for the original, because it the original. But I love the story so much, I'd like to watch it again in a new way. I personally don't understand why they kept the script so close. I love the idea of making this story more open to the black community. It allows the black viewers to feel even closer to the characters. I would however love for one day, to have a story this heart hitting of a cast that is equally black, white, hispanic, etc. A true equality dramedy. The cast for this specific film, is in my opinion, amazing. I adore most of them. And those I don't, it's just for the simple fact that I've not yet seen them in act. I'll give it a go, and keep very open minded the whole time. Also, the costuming is fun and flowery. I want of few of them hats gurl!!!♡♡♡

This isn't an interpretation, it's a blatant copy meant to appeal to black audiences. The script didn't change, the jokes were literally word-for-word, and the attempt was horrible. Here's the good... Nope, nothing. The bad... The pace was rushed, the actresses looked uncomfortable, the lines weren't delivered authentically or with any real emotion. The costuming department needs to be fired and blacklisted and whoever thought it was okay to take a movie and black-wash it while not changing one thing doesn't understand what plagiarism is. For goodness sake, at least change SOMETHING. The skinny... Just skip this piece of trash and see the original. If you want to see a decent movie with these wonderful actresses, there are too many to list. Don't waste your time on this.
