every one looks good. i don’t know about the movie though. im tired of the movie biz thinking that all black movies should be about drugs, dancing, a family reunion.

They make a cute couple though! Sallie Richardson and her husband always look cute together!

I’m not to convinced about the movie! I hate when they make black movies with too many well know black people in one movie!!! That tells me that it would be filled with nonsense!

NO offense but Raven looks like a DYKE!! I’m sorry I just call it like it is!! This moving is setting blacks back! as do most comedies!! You can be serious and be funny too. The Jenkins? This movie won’t be getting any of my money!

Everyone looks really nice. Mo-Mo does need on a spanx! But she is very pretty. The movie looks stupid, always the blacks acting like bufoons. Oh well, we gotta stop accepting those roles, but then they gotta eat too.
Deondre Whitfield is dayum FINE! Go Salli, a step way up from DeWayne-Wayne girl….way up!

Everyone does look nice…even Mike dressed up a bit. And isn’t that his wife?? Unless he got divorced.
Who is that with Michael Clarke Duncan?? hmmmm
Yall leave Nicole alone..she looks “normal” for having 2 baby’s..back to back. She looks nice..aint nothing wrong with a little pooch. Besides..she has Boris..who cares!!
I think Raven dresses a bit too mature sometimes. Not saying she needs to show he @$$ and t!ts but she could look like she is in her early 20’s and not her mid-30’s. She still looks curte though…but loosen up girly!

Where to start? Nicole is sporting a tummy big time. Salli Richardson looks like she is much older than Dondre, but nice looking couple. Cedric’s wife looks like she is on her way to Easter Sunday Service. WTH does Raven have on? and Ooooooooh Alfre! I didn’t know it was like that.

nicole looks great
her hair is nice…she has boris. she wins. like at life. lol I LOVE BORIS. one day *sigh* one day
i feel like joy bryant always has the same hairstyle lol she’s cute anyways. Who is salli richardson???? she’s attractive and so is her hubby.
Damn Aflre…get it hahaha michael clark duncan’s date looks JACKED. omg. that weave/wig/extensions…whatever it’s called, i can’t tell the difference…. it looks busted. i feel like she may be Hispanic, but I dunno. i can’t tell my own people apart lol but that hair…. SMH
what’s up with raven?? i agree with Ebony77…she dresses a lil bit too mature at times. i know, if she shows a lot then the media will start calling her slutty and all that…but i mean, she’s YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL AND WEALTHY… she needs to start dressing like it lol i’d just like to see her in younger looking outfits, age appropriate of course.

@ 16. If you had a blog and worked with Google Ads than you would know that they serve ads based on keywords. Since the title of the post is the name of the movie, of course they will put those ads in those spots. Did we get paid for posting up these photos? No. Will we get paid? Probably, if the visitors click on the ads. If you enjoy CL than you would want us to make money so that the site can continue to stay up. So..yeah.. come again?

I will go see it to support our black actors and actressess….everybody in the movie are some of my favorite comedians. If you pay attention to any Adam Sandler movies he always have all his goofy comedian friends in every one of his movies….they stick together why can’t we….that what we as a african american always complaining about….we need to stick together….and this is what you see now it is a problem…..no it will not be a box office hit but it may be a funny movie…….YA GOT MY SUPPORT

Man I cant wait to go see this movie it looks so funny. I absolutley LOVE Mike Epps he’s hilarious and cute as hell
All the couples looks pretty good. Even though I’m suprised that Alfred Woodard has a white husband. Dondre’ Whitfield is as sexy as he wanna be. I still remember him as Robert from The Cosby Show
Nicole looks a lil off I must say but her hubby always looks nice
Vanessa is lookin fabulous, I miss Soul Food
Martin Lawrence also looks pretty dapper and suave
Monique and her hubby are so cute together they just look so in love

Nicole had her nose done. It used to be short and kind of pug…but it looks nice.

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 /
Why did Nicole Ari Parker do that to herself? She’d already done a lot of work on her nose (the old nose was much more bulbous…just a wee bit smaller than The Game’s)…the nose you saw in Soul Food was the new nose…WHY OH WHY, THEN, DID SHE CHANGE IT AGAIN? She looks like a different person…and though she doesn’t look bad, she looks insecure and Z List… Her husband’s going to cheat…lol…

I know…lol I was wrong for that, but it’s true… She looks really desperate and her nose looks painful, like the procedure is still healing. It just looks like she’s gone and had some sort of horrible postpartum midlife tuneup. It’s oddly masochistic…she looks disgusting…lol there I go again…

I have to ask…WHY WHY WHY is Monique so hairy?? and REFUSES to shave/wax??? I also hate to generalize but I notice that a lot from women in DC and Baltimore. Why would you look so nice in an outfit, and have hairy arms and legs??? SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GROSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Why can’t Black folk make a funny movie? Why must everything be serious. There is nothing wrong with laughing, and one should not be considered a bafoon because you choose to do so.
I’m looking forward to the movie and will support is just as I did the Great Debater.

Monique is finally losing weight, but those arms are not quite ready to go on display yet. Beautiful woman, though.
Raven is getting bigger and bigger-those breasts look like such a burden.
Alfre Woodard– such an amazing, yet underrated actress.

I see Martin has that sexy boxer body going full swing these days. DAYUM DAYUM DAYUM DAYUM lol!!!
In Raven’s case I love her outfit but I really think she needs a breast reduction. She is REALLY not that big of a girl at ALL but her breasts make her look HUGE. Shrink those down some Raven so the ignorant folks can stop calling you fat because you TRULY are nowhere near it!!!

Nicole has the UGLIEST legs I’ve seen on a woman, she is old looking and she has no sexiness to her. I used to think she was cute, and in the previews she does look cute but here she looks old..
Raven DOES NOT look like a dyke, she looks old but not gay at all. Just because she doesn’t have all her skin exposed doesn’t mean she looks like a dyke..

This is a comedy with a lot of comedians in it. Its ENTERTAINMENT. WE tend to put too much importance on ENTERTAINMENT. Yes there very well should be a lot more roles for blacks in a Drama/Thriller movie. But we don’t always get along to get the job done. Don’t no one want to fall back and let someone else shine. Everyone want to be the STAR.
For instance I went to see Cloverfield because the actors whom played in that movie I wasn’t familar with. It was a good movie and a crazy as it sounds it did have some humor in it.
I personally have more than enough going on in my life on a daily basis to be caught up in seriousness all the time. It can make a person very depressed. I put my time in raising a beautiful daughter and teaching her about the ins and outs of this world. The importance of self-worth, respect, love and honor and God. And that knowledge is POWER.
I dont want my world to be always serious all that time. If you laugh more you tend to go back into a trying situation with a lighter heart and an open mind. Don’t take the Entertainment World that serious cause if they put out more serious movies vesus comedies this world would REALLY BE SAD TO LIVE IN. So laugh and enjoy.Be serious about paying bills on time, raising and teaching your children, giving a compliment to someone, building credit and a solid foundation. Those are the things to really be serious about. Work with self first, home next and others will follow.

To me something is not right with Big Mo’s husband.
Brows are arched better than hers. Anyway…He probably thinks he is prettier than her. And she is just slumped all on him and this fool looking off paying her no mind, probably looking at another man.
And where did Michael Clark Duncan find his date? Rent a ho. She is not there to support him…pleeeeez!
Rayven looks fantastic.

I had the chance to attend a pre-screening of this movie and it was sooooooooo funny! I understand some of the comments about black people only doing comedies but are we not allowed to laugh now? This movie is far from a shuck and jive film it is a comedy that anyone with a family can relate to even across racial lines. There is more to the story than him just coming home it explores the relationship between family and how you choose to handle success.

@yJockMe - Thanks for spelling my name right. Now on to your comment. You said that white comedies have actors looking stupid… Yes they do, but name me one black comedy that does not make their actors look dumb? Name 1 i’ll wait…..
Now as far as Adam Sandler, yes he is a clown, but his movies are not all silly backyard trailer trash comedies. Take Big Daddy for instance. He was an irresponsible new dad… but he tried… He wasn’t a black man who made it and forget his roots. It was sort of real life, hey piss on the wall just don’t cry i don’t care. It was sort of real… in a way. It wasn’t feeding into any sterotype. there are movies out there and tons of ways to be funny and not coon ourself. I’m tired of putting out money into ignorance. I’m tired of them making the same films over and over and giving them a different name hence this film. This is nothing but a remake of a Bernie Mack Episode i saw one. And it’s sad that this movie will make more money at the box office than a Catch of Fire, or Great Debaters, A Good Day To Be Black And Sexy… which is an innovated movie, that I’m the only blogger to blog about it. There are other movies out there which deserve the recognition and the well thought out intelligent black movies don’t get the press. So while you’re watching First Sunday about Robbing a Church, and This movie Roscoe Jenkins about other black Stereotype’s I’ll be reading a book.
@ Real Talk - I’m not sayin Raven is a dyke but she looks like one. None of the women in there are really dressed with a lot of skin showing, everyone is dressed nice and respectable. Raven has on a SUIT!! and the suit isn’t even sexy it’s just a suit. I own that exact same suit… It’s made for a man!! She could have worn something better it’s all i’m saying. She looks like a dyke. Its just my opinion.
And for the record Raven doesn’t look bad… she just looks a little too masculine. Like Queen Latifah picked out her clothes.

LOL…I was thinking Nicole needs some Spanx on. Looks like she got some work to the ta-ta’s the stomach is prob next. I love Vanessa’s look. Ceddy’s wife’s coat is horrid! Terry Crews and Michael Duncan looked like they just picked their dates up off the Vegas Ho Stroll!
Michael Epps can get it!!

Get it Marty Mar! Looking kind of cute too.
Can somebody tell Cedric’s wife to step her clothes game up! What’s with that 80’s frock?!!! She knew her ass was rolling out to a premiere…..embarrassing.
Is Nicole pregnant again…mami i see a belly? It’s hard to believe she would just let her stomach hang like that on purpose.
Dondre and Salli are a beautiful couple.

Must be the glasses or something. Raven…RAVEN!! Please learn how to dress your breasts!! Us people with big breasts can’t be having them suffocated like that! You can still wear nice, drapey stuff that’s still sexy. She dresses waaay too old.
