690712, Funny movie, the heart moments fell a little flat Posted by SoulHonky, Thu Jan-01-15 08:58 PM
Obviously, there were laughs aplenty in this but I felt like most of the character moments were just over the top and it took away from the picture.
While the Cedric the Entertainer stuff was funny, it didn't really strike me as a worst moment for an alcoholic, especially since it was shit happening to him not awful stuff he did. (Especially compared to Rosario's stories.)
The James Nielsen twist seemed unnecessary to me and seemed really forced. The gay boyfriend seemed like he just really wanted to jam in (no pun intended) the hot sauce tampon joke.
Gabrielle Union's moment of self-awareness in the call about "This is all I have" felt false. Especially since it's not like she'd lose her show or celebrity if she got dumped at the alter.
Still, it was a solid film.
