A few of my lucky readers and girlfriends saw the movie the other day for a lil girls night out! It was a lot of fun, we laughed, cried, laughed so more and cried again, yep we were all full of emotions. This movie hit home though, it really did. This movie is about life and the many twists and turns it takes you through and best friends. We all try to make friends from grade school to college but only the strong survive. This movie reminded me of my best friend Heather and I so much. We met in college, just like the characters in this film. Me and my bestie dated best friends(back then). We went through so many ups and downs with our relationships and just like the film, we had a tragic lost in our circle. My best friend’s boyfriend Chuck was killed in a very bad car accident.
I actually introduced them and they quickly fell in love. Chuck and I went to high school together and graduated together. They met, dated for years and had two beautiful kids together. I’m the god-mom of their kids Mylez & Morgan and they call me “TT”. In the movie, you see the same relationship between Nia Long(Jordan) & Monica Calhoun(Mia). I was balling because there is a death scene in the film too, I know this all too well. I never saw it coming when I got the phone call that Chuck had passed. It hurt so much because we were so close. It was never the same after that. I eventually broke up with my boyfriend and my friend Heather eventually got back on her feet and continued on with life. She is now a single mom and has another little girl Maylin and owns a hair salon.
I won’t tell you guys too much more about the movie because I really would like for you to see it, but do know it’s worth going to check it out. Its so well scripted, casted, directed, the storyline is funny as hell and you will leave wanting to call your friends from the past to the present. I really enjoyed this movie and wouldn’t mind flying home to watch it with my bestie. I give this film an A+ Take your girlfriends or make it a date night for sure!
