This was a great movie about dealing with your personal demons and struggle of finding love. Not a lover, but love that we would find from family and friends. The performances by the hole cast were amazing. Alicia Keys continues to prove her acting abilities. Queen Latifah shines again. Jennifer Hudson reminds us why she won the oscar. Dakota Fanning, a teen with a long career ahead. However, the screen was stolen by, Sophie Okenedo, throughout the movie. Sophie still surprises us with every role she undertakes. She must be on the Oscar list.

I believe the movie was geared toward a white audience. There were some good and interesting performances. I felt unhappy that the young girl did indeed bring a lot of havoc and saddness into the lives to people who had done nothing but good to her and her family. I wondered about the meaning of this phenomenon.
