It was late and I didn't want to go to sleep right away, and I was flipping through HBO channels when Paula Patton caught my eye, I switched back to the channel and began watching it.*************Spoiler********************** I was on the part where she was in the bushes, spying on a guy and his pregnant wife. I had never even heard of this movie before, but the actress was hot, as the movie went a long I had already figured out the entire story, I knew who her lover would, but I still found it cute.This is the reason why I called it "Porno?" the characters were so perfect, and the definition was so great, and the acting was so (I'm sorry) terrible! (Made me laugh though) that I thought eventually Paula was going to take off her clothes. (Not that I watch those HBO specials...)Either way I was happy to find out that it wasn't, and fell in love with Paula myself, just love her smile! But that's that.

I personally think what makes the film rather enjoyable to watch is that Paula Patton is sure rye candy indeed. However I am not sure if comedy is a natural aspect for her since she is good at the romantic aspects but the comedy seems a kith or forced, however I would say that the movie belongs to Jill Scott who plays Montana Moores man hungry friend gale as a pure scene stealer and Adam Brody as the gay flight attendant sam. Jennifer Lewis is also rather hilarious as Montana's mother Catherine who can be rather overbearing towards her daughter. I do wish that certain characters like trey songz Damon diesel and Tia Mowrys Janine were fleshed out more since their characters a poser on screen too briefly,

A story about baggage, the emotional type that people carry for not conforming to society's norms. The film deals with the concept of marriage, how we all are made for it and the attractive leading lady has somehow not tied the knot though keenly looking for her Mr Right and though she went far, she seemed to miss what is good and near. Whilst in the quest, she discovers her no-no's in men and how once someone is an ex, it is best he stays an ex.Ultimately, the question has to arise: do people marry because they want to and are committed to it or because they have to?Whilst it offers a charming and pleasant experience it is not inventive as a story, succumbing to the rom-com principle of Mr & Mrs perfect live happily ever after. Not a bad experience for viewers who go in couples.

I'm a little surprised that this movie has a 3.2 rating on here because it wasn't that bad. I, personally, did not want to see it. I'm a little prejudice against black theater writes who start making movies (i.e. Tyler Perry) but this movie wasn't totally bad. I actually enjoyed it. I thought the premise was original. a flight attendance using her resources at her airline to encounter exes so they could be her date for her sister's wedding. I mean it has been done before with Debra Messing but I thought the airline aspect was cool. The gems of this movie were definitely Jill Scott and Adam Brody. Without them this movie would have been dullsville but they deliver some very hilarious one lines and the dialogue between both of them delivers some laugh out loud moments they made me forgive a lot of the movies mistakes. Also, Tia Mowry had a small part but her scene was one of the funniest as well.Now for the bad, Paula Patton really overacted in this. Watching her deliver her lines made me really uncomfortable. If you ask me she did some of her best work in Mission Impossible 4. Whoever her agent is, they need to get her out of playing the same roles in these comedy and romance movie. Jennifer Lewis' monologue at the end was whack. I didn't understand why they introduced her ex named "Curtis" on the plane if she wasn't going to have an interaction with him in the future. Overall, this movie is pretty predictable. I already knew everything that would happen but I enjoyed watching the story unfold simply for the laughs throughout. I don't want to make it a race thing but it's good to see African American cinema explore other genres of film besides the gangster movies or slave movies. It seems those are the only roles that get created so to say an African American based romantic comedy is very refreshing.I enjoyed this movie. But I wouldn't suggest for anybody to rush to see it in theaters. Just wait until Redbox.
