Whoopi Goldberg and Ving Rhames star in this Lifetime Original Movie based on bestseller by Terry McMillan. When irascible matriarch Viola Price (Goldberg) learns that her next asthma attack will likely kill her, she is determined to fix her fractured family before she leaves this world. While on this quest, she must contend with sibling rivalry, teen pregnancy and drug addiction--and that is only one child! Additionally, her jailbird son needs to learn how to be a better father, her granddaughter is in bigger trouble than her daughter is willing to admit and Viola's estranged husband needs saving from his scheming younger girlfriend. It's the kind of meddling that the Price family hasn't experienced from Viola in decades, and she won't have an easy time bending her loved ones to her will. Mekhi Phifer, Kimberly Elise, Anika Noni Rose and Tichina Arnold also star. (2014)

The movie was great; it showed all through the movie of what you should do and what you should not do. It went to bad to worst. It took there mom death to face the truth, you have to love one another and talk to each other and listen .

This is by far the best movie I've seen that makes you think and makes love your family because you never know when it's your last time seeing them or them seeing you.
