Nappily Ever After (2018)
Just sooo bland....cant put my finger on it as to why.
I cant put my finger on it but this was sooooo CRINGE. i couldn't even hate watch it. I lived and live this hair life. Ive gone thru the mishaps, the joys and out the other side. THIS execution isn't for us, but maybe for those who try and touch our hair. I cant put my finger on it but Sanaa Lathan's acting is very suspect. I almost want to go back and watch one of my favorite movies she stars in "Brown Sugar" and see as I don't recall her being this BAD. Is it the material or the acting? She looked kinda haggard at times. Is it the weight of the story or something else. And who was the leading man? I felt no chemistry. Its like everyone was tiptoeing around but nothing ever landed. The heart warming moments and laughs felt forced. I sat stone faced waiting to be moved for at least 30 minutes. Me and my afro will wait for the right film or project. You probably do better watching Da Kink in My Hair.
House of Payne (2006)
Let the show grow. If you have seen his plays then you would get it.
If you have seen the plays then you would get this. Tyler writes with REAL emotions so hopefully it translates to what you see on the screen. OK so the acting is a bit eh. But that is due to mostly unknowns playing these roles. Everyone has to start somewhere. I don't know about you, but I do not want to see the SAME 5 black actors playing these roles. Hollywood plays it safe when casting Black projects using the already limited black actor casting pool as it is. The actors in this show are a nice departure from seeing Gabrielle Union, Vivica Fox and company. So have an open mind, appreciate that Tyler is giving folks a chance in showcasing a different side of the Black American Family Sitcom. Not everyone can be Cliff and Claire. It's 2006 so it is OK. Right? Oh and bravo to showing in selected markets. Tyler Perry's plays are famous but not everyone gets "it". SO why not go where your loyal audience is? If he had the marketing team aware of that then fine.
