Melodramatic lives matter.
11 April 2021
Look i get it, the year this came out there were calls for more recognition for black actors and movies. The problem was until I see a better one, they'll not be the level of recognition the black community wants to see. This movie had a real meaning, hidden messages which I'm very sure most women would have chosen to ignore and that's we cannot continue to demand fathers take equal responsibility for children and not give them equal rights. Lots of messages also including how decent men exist but also live in the real world and aren't all rich, paying for their own legal fees and biting their tongue with whatever the mother and others throw at them. A case lots and lots of men can relate to. The downside however outweighs the good; a very melodramatic, cheap, over the top and poorly executed story and for a comedy, not the slightest bit funny. The final act should be the most interesting, instead it's totally ridiculous. Unfortunately, although Idris in a fan of, this is the seventh movie of his I've seen which are very poorly put together. A note as well we understand the lingo and the phrases like wid chu, babe, ya saying, all of that... but half the film Monty is very well spoken which is a reason the lawyer noticed him, the other half of the film he's a typical black american who isn't so well spoken at all. These inconsistencies are another reason this film really sucked.
