Sad

This is a good movie, but what I don't like is the abuse they portray coming from the black man. They show this bull and make women think less of a man, I may get pissed and upset extremely, but I have never slapped poor alcohol or treated my women anyway these movies on tubi show, and it hurts my feelings to see it being showed in this manner, now I see why women gravitate to men that treat them this way, this is wrong to do this crap.

Wrong person playing lead.

The movie is OK. But Lil ma looks not like the real person. Lala land needs to start using actors who at least resemble the real people. If the dancers they had in the movie are really dancers, they must be damn near starving. It's sad some desperate women still like and want this type of man. Lil ma might rap but sure as hell can't act, or dance. So the real person is still in jail, for being stupid. Wasted her life, lost her child and for what??? Her friend will be out before she will. I don't feel sorry for her. Also I don't have eighty more words to say. Decided to stop reviewing, cause it makes no sense to do six hundred words.

This made me mad

This movie made me so angry the way it went on lol. There were so many events that happened that made me want to turn it off but the story itself was so interesting. It also upsets me that this is a true story or at least based on true events. I think Lance and lil mama are both really good actors. I don't know if it was the writers or the actors but them but everything seemed so natural coming from their mouths. I wanted to be mad at how absolutely stupid the main character is but then it hit me that there are women out here really like this that will do anything for someone even if that someone doesn't deserve it.

Poorly Cast

Let's start with the fact that Falicia Blakely was a dark skinned woman with brown eyes. Casting a light skinned actress was totally f.. up. They also cast a biracial child as her daughter.

This obsession with light skinned women and long weaves is rather f... pathetic and undermines the credibility of the film, according to every image I have seen. Tasha Smith, a brown skinned actress who rarely works probably because of her hue, should know better. There are plenty of struggling dark skinned actresses who could have been cast for this role. A dark skinned black woman can't catch a break ion this industry even when black folks are making the casting decisions.

The acting and writing are okay.
