No I really liked the film.
I like the way it used actors to portray a story and the use of the average joes and joannes to give testimony to current opinions about the state of black relationships.
I realise that such a subject is never going to be perfect in it's coverage but on the budget the Man (the Director) did well. Have you seen the whole film yet ?
I know that a trailer come out, but the whole film is better. I managed to see a bootleg version of the film.
Not sure about the statistic that claims that 90% of Black children are raised by a single mother (in the U.S). But other issues about Africans and African Americans, Black women falling for the "Thug" type character over the nice guy, or the so called "Independant Black woman" definition.

Got the film on DVD yesterday. Haven't watched it all but so far...food for thought... Do I have ABS (Angry Black Woman Syndrome)? yes, a little and I'm working on it.
So sad the part at the BBQ when the woman is dogging the little boy about his Dad... Total no, no, and I know many women do that.
God determines who walks into your life...It's up to you who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go. May God bless all of you and your life be full of Peace, Prosperity, Love and Abundance. Amen

There were some similarities between the F**k All Black People programme a few years back (on the BBC) and this but this was a more intelligent film with a better coverage of the issues. It's definately a film worth seeing

I thought the way it was done was far too over the top and simplistic. OK so he's trying to show that some sistas don't appreciate good men, but the main lady (forget her name) was like something out of a cartoon! In fact, all the people in the film were like cartoon characters.

I thought the film was gonna be just like diary of a mad black woman, I didn't expect it to be documentary style. And was the clip they showed really on youtube? I didn't bother to research that part. I thought it was interesting and spoke a lot of truth, on the real I've dogged out nice guys making them pay for the wrong bad guys had done to me. It's an issue that needs to be addressed before stepping into a new relationship, I can put my hands up and admit that. The wife defo should have had counselling before entering into marriage, and I do think the husband was good for staying with her so long. If I was him I would have shet her a box for spitting in my face, oh hell to the no!
