I'm a Black Woman and I enjoyed the messages in the movie. They are true and are happening daily! I did however have a problem with the husband who played the guy on the down low. It is not often that a guy would completely spill his guts when confronted and then apologize even though it would be nice! I was extremely pleased that he showed Harper Hill's character as supportive and loving, because there are Black men that fit that description. The bigger moment for me was how the movie showed all the women connected in the end, regardless of anything else! I don't think it was meant to be a feel good movie. Life isn't about feel good and happily ever after all the time. This was for real and we need to take it as that! I think it was to wake people up, so that women could bond and heal!

I am a black woman and I was offended by the movie. Every sterotype and tragedy that could befall any "human being" was portrayed in this movie. I am ready for more films that celebrate the achievements and strength of black women. Tell a story that shows we are prosperous, overcomers, intelligent, modest, courteous, successful, good mothers, etc...My husband who is a black man was offended as well....When will black men be portrayed as anything other than gay, rapist, thugs, woman beaters, child abusers, and low lifes! Really....my people it is time for a change...we should set our expectations higher and stop being satisfied with stories of tragedy, bad decisions, and struggle.
