A Fall from Grace

There's not really much to say other than that it was predictable from the moment Phylicia Rashad made her appearance. Feels like I've seen her portray the same type of roles more often than not (yawn). Writing was very subpar as was Bresha Webbs acting. 2 hrs wasted.

Low quality movie, stiff acting, bad dialogues, plot holes. The best part of this movie is watching the absolutely clueless extras in the background at the restaurant when our heroes have their first date.

A mortgage gets taken out, 1st payment is 30 days past due only 42 days after "closing" on said morgage, and banker says make a payment now to avoid foreclosure??? What stupid fresh he!! kind of foolishness is this? It took 14 months for my house to be foreclosed after making late payments for 6 months (waiting to get refinancing approval after the 2008 crash when my employer went bankrupt) Obviously, Mr. Perry hasn't had a mortgage. Don't know why I'm still watching this dreck. I had to pause the movie and walk outside for a smoke. Good God almighty. I'm determined to see the crazy ending people are talking about. I need a good laugh. I'm gonna need to watch The Waterboy after this mess just to recover a few brain cells.

There's an odd feel to this. It's a movie but it feels like a soap/ tv drama but lasting a lot longer. Jasmine is a terrible lawyer. Goofs - like the white slippers disappearing as grace descends the stairs. And watch the old guy eating (not) his pasta in the romantic first date restaurant scene - he's looking at the camera half the time. Woeful.

I usually enjoy Tyler Perry films but this is whack. The basement scenes at the end threw me over the edge. You can't go from semi-realism to totally unrealistic. It had potential.
