I have definitely scene better melodrama. I was expecting some thing better considering that it was released in theaters.
So the first twenty minutes is dull. Real dull, almost makes me want to leave the theater. So like in the movie The Perfect Guy, Madison thought she found the perfect guy, but the fact that he does not want children is a contradiction to her wanting to be a mommy. So they start to argue, and he gets psychical with her, showing his true colors. She tries to deal with it for a little while, but then realizes it's not worth it and finds a way out. This is when the real action happens.
The movie is fine for watching late at night on BET but I was expecting better from a major release in theaters. Something like No Good Deed or something. Maybe that was too high on the scale to expect this movie to be ( I mean, I can't expect anyone to be as good as the combo of Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson) Taye Diggs is good in it, as Alex, the guy Madison meets after running away from the perfect guy. Very charming. Not Charming enough to hold this together, however.
I will say that every women in this film was really beautiful. Even in small roles as waitresses and Nurses, any women who had a line in the movie was smoking hot. That did catch my attention.
Really cool that R&B Artist Marques Houston Wrote and produce this thing, but all and all it's still really generic. If you saw one on BET you saw them all, and that's the only place you should watch it.

This entire movie is a total rip off of "Sleeping with the Enemy", and a horrible version at that. They had a couple different twist but its the same movie. Although the actors in the movie are all beautiful, and they tried to do a good job but its just a bad movie. It definitely touches domestic abuse issues but it sometimes become unbelievable. Don't dare pay for this one just wait it out I'm sure it'll be on BET soon enough...

Either the original sold their rights or there's going to be a lawsuit. It's the BET version of Sleeping With The Enemy. Instead of stealing apples, it's stealing lemons. Instead of faking death via drowning, it's a car accident. Instead of the neighbor guy love interest having a 6 year-old niece, it's a daughter. Instead of wearing the black dress for him she wears the red. Instead of the matching wedding rings, it's a matching set of necklaces. Instead of a mother being in the rest home, it's a father. Instead of straightening the towels on the bar, it's leaving the toilet seat up. IT IS A COPYCAT OF SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY FROM START TO FINISH. And, it isn't very good. Enemy came out back in 1991. It was extremely popular, about as such as Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. As with Rear Window, practically everyone has seen Enemy, young and old alike, so it's kind of weird to see such a poorly made version.

Yes, there is a dearth of originality in Hollywood, but I certainly didn't think it was THIS bad. If this was intended to be a black version of "Sleeping With the Enemy," and it appears it was, then the writer, director and actors failed miserably; in fact, the director should have kept his dignity intact and attached the Alan Smithee moniker to this monstrosity of a movie.
Some scenes from Sleeping are blatant ripoffs with perhaps a touch of role reversal. So this begs the question, "Do the people who produced this have ANY scruples?" Surely they saw Sleeping and noticed the string of copycat scenes--or are we the viewer to assume those ripoff takes are an eerie string of coincidences?
Moreover, there are plot holes galore and the few that the writer does try and fill only underscore the poor writing. In the end you hate all the characters for the lack of depth. There is so much predictability here that you might as well break out the Julia Roberts/Patrick Bergen original. Far more tension and superior acting.

Yes it was a sleeping with the enemy with a black cast but It was well done. The acting was good, Script was okay, and the look was very good. The reviewers acted like they put in the money. There are a lot of overt poorly done movies out here and this was not one of them. I know what it takes to get a movie done and I can appreciate the effort. Christ Stokes and Marcus Houston, I love the locations, I love the choice in actors and you got money to get the movie done and I'm sure you made profit.... forget these haters and keep making your movies fro one Indy producer to another Indy producer.

This is a really bad black version of 'Sleeping with the enemy " and the main female actress ..so so bad, talk about over acting. She needs to go back to acting school!

Badly done. Although there are some good acting efforts, the production can't support the actors. It's also way to close to Sleeping with the Enemy to be a movie on it's own. It's almost a mirror so what was the point in making it? It seemed to have been shot with a cell phone. Very disappointing as a result.

The setup is now 15 minutes in and it is so overly exaggerated with the sappy "baby I love you, no baby I love you more" stuff... this would be unbearable if I wasn't multi-tasking. These people are supposed to be married yet they don't seem to know anything about each other. The wife brings the husband water -- "baby you know I don't like water" so she responds "oh yeah baby, I forgot" and he responds "baby is something wrong that you forgot?" and she responds "no baby everything is fine" kissy kissy smooch smooch. This is so horrible. The worst aspect of it all is that the writer and director (they are a team) went out of their way to make this an all black movie with an all black cast about all black people's lives, yet it is almost completely devoid of any black culture whatsoever. Isn't the term called "whitewashing"...? Why did the writer and director whitewash this movie? Horrible.

If you ordered Sleeping With The Enemy & Enough,but instead got a cheap"Wish"knock-off versions.
Don't get me wrong.. Had a few decent moments,but overall this premise has been done & with much better quality.
Liked the homes but other than that,it was rather drab from scenery & choices of music.
Actors to their acting was average at best,cinematography was just ok.
Would I recommend this? If you like the actors or just need something to watch.
If you haven't watched the mentioned better choices above do so,you will see why this one failed in comparison.
Not a movie that can see watching,again.

I'm kind of shocked that they basically copycatted an entire movie. Just watch Sleeping with the enemy and save yourself.
