This movie kicks ass!

I thought it was pretty entertaining, though I wouldn't quite say it kicked ass. Danson and Goldberg had pretty good chemistry, so to speak.

By the way: where was it supposed to take place? And where was it filmed?

I recently saw this movie from beginning to end for the first time and I really failed to see what the fuss was all about. It was OK (5/10). I think Danson and Goldberg were way over the top and had no onscreen chemistry at all. The best thing about this movie was that we got to see two future stars in the making...Will Smith and Nia Long.

I just saw it on tv and i thought it was really great. the performances and tone of the film were pitch perfect. not the sort of film i would usually be into, but really great character arc, and just a nice little movie.

as someone who has lost a parent young, i can sympathise with zora and her desire to hind her roots, her sense of identity. a real little gem of a film.

4.4 out of 10 is a VERY disappointing ranking.



"It's just a movie" is no excuse for lazy filmmaking!

It was definitely better than what I expected it to be 6/10

I love this movie! I'm still amazed at how much chemistry Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg had. It's just a really fun, entertaining movie with good actors who have great chemistry. I'm glad it's OnDemand right now.

Where have all the good writers gone?

I LOVE this movie!! It is one of those movies I can watch over and over again... not because it is magnificent movie art, but because it is warm and charming and funny. The chemistry between Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson is great, and over all the movie just makes me smile over and over again (I guess I've seen it too many times now to acutally burst out in loud laughs). :-)
