    painful to watch

    Overall this movie was horrible, the acting was terrible and frankly they wasted money on this movie. it was worse than a lifetime movie, iv'e seen better productions put on by a school film class. if i could give it zero stars i would, the best actor in this movie was the dog..and sadly the dog alone. These actors simply cant buy their talent and should maybe invest in a real job they don't suck at or a good acting coach. The plot sucked, the acting sucked, it wasn't even funny.. if your gonna be bad at acting at least make it funny. when i watch a movie i want to be pulled into it as if i'm in the movie myself...this did not reach the bare minimum expectations. would not recommend unless you love cheaply horribly made movies.

    Enjoyable watch

    I enjoyed this movie. I love Kyla, she's such a great actress. The other characters were good too and the dialogue was serious and funny at the time they needed to be, great combination.

    Great to see Kyla again

    Idk if it's the writing, directing or acting but this is like somebody filmed each character all the way through and patched it together at the end. No chemistry, bad timing, silly stereotypes, just strange. That said, Kyla is good as could be expected with her talent, the writing and editing, etc. Lahmad (sp?) is good in his small part. Disappointed but in disbelief that it's this bad, so I'll probably finish it. Won't say not to watch it, just do so with a huge serving of patience and low expectations.

    Worst movie ever!

    OK. I was set for a Hallmark-style snoozefest, but this was even worse. OMG! The acting was terrible, the settings were nondescript the direction was undisciplined, and the story line was ridiculous. I can't imagine whoever wrote this wasn't embarassed to see it on screen. I had the hardest time following the story to the end with all the cliches and stereotypes throughout. The pacing of this film was off from beginning to end. For example, there is an unexplained six-month gap in the story that makes no sense whatsoever. I felt no attraction, chemistry or energy between any of these actors and just couldn't wait until it was over and I didn't have to hear that shrill, screechy voice of the lead any longer. Do not waste your time watching this film!

    Felt like I was watching a Twlight episode.

    The beginning really confused me because everything happened too fast.

    What is this movie Back to the Goode Life about?:

    It's about Penny Proud getting cursed where everything around her falls apart and fells out of order. She must manage and find away to survive.

    Genre:

    Motivational, Drama

    duration:

    A good slow hour.

    The Story and the production overview:

    The film confused me at the beginning. I kept at it and figured out what was going on.

    It's a movie about understanding, patience and survival. Things aren't going to go your way, and you must get up and fight and deal with various situations.

    The acting is meh, but when you focus on the story and evolution of the characters, the movie is quite interesting.

    Not a go-to movie, but it's still a fine movie. Sometimes you need a break from violent movies.

    Moral:

    Never give up and have an understanding

    Overall a good movie for what it is.

    Rating:

    Okay

    Final Words:

    Penny!!!
