I ain't mad at ya

This movie is not what I was expecting especially for a Lee Daniels production. The plot is predictable. The storyline had promise. And the acting from the newbies is on brand for BET + but Mo'Nique's performance was the STAR! This movie had many twists and turns that it was sometimes hard to follow, but Mo'Nique provided so many quotables it was reminiscent of The Color Purple. This movie will definitely become a cult classic and people will be quoting Mo'Nique like she's a Real Housewife!Also, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but the main character's mother's name was Oda M Brown, as in "Oda Mae Brown"? Was this intentionally a nod to Whoopi Goldberg's character from the movie Ghost? ! I found it very coincidental if it wasn't considering Oda Mae was a "reader" too and used to scam people using her gift as well.Anyway, I have already spread the word to my friends that this is a must-see.

Reminds me of old school horror and thriller films.

Reminds me of how white people use to be so easily murdered in horror movies.-Tripping and falling-Talking loud, ie using outside voices while hiding.---All that annoying talking it over and stalling-Watching your friend die with a weapon within reach that you don't try to grab.-that one attempt to escape when you see help outside and the person is conveniently distracted.-gun's blazing and no neighbor hears anything?Meanwhile the killer slowly pacing like Jason while the victims having conferences, zoom meetings, huddles, phone a friend, and multiple choice sessions.Old script new day.

Tough crowd! It wasn't awful guys!

So this movie is not one to put on to fall asleep. It will keep you entertained to say the least. Def worth a watch worse case scenario you'll have something to talk about at the end and Monique is always a good watch. She was kinda corny at the end but ultimately I'd recommend. Especially if you have nothing else to watch. Oh lord so apparently I need more words..... soooo okay! Obviously if you can't tell l'm not a bot lol so watch the movie, enjoy and my goodness who knew I'd have to right 600 words just to leave a dang review. I guess I have to say last but not least ignore the bad reviews, Im not sure which movie they watched.
