Seems interesting enough…
Dag-on-it! I can’t view it while at work.
Looks good!
hmm seems borderline but ill probably see it anyway just to support, but if it come out beginning of OCT whyyy am i just hearing about it now and on the internet at that?
The book was amazing! and I will support any movie that has African Americans/Blacks/West Indians?Brown people?Negros…For all you sensitive MF! in leading roles!
I especially love to see my full figured sistas in the leading roles!
and any other actresses besides
Gabrielle
Shana
Nia
Or any other of the smily black cover girls!
There are thousands of actresses who are amazing and underpaid!
This book like soooo many others need producing!
It looks interesting
Not interested!
I think Jennifer did so poorly in “Sex and the City” because she was uncomfortable… in fact, a few reviewers said it (but lots loved her and thought she should have had a bigger part)… She seems to have done a great job with this movie…she looks comfortable and her Southern accent is great. To be honest with you, Queen Latifah (obviously the lead aside from the Dakota) seems to have done the worst.
It looks pretty good.
I am looking forward to seeing this; the book was AMAZING!!
It looks wack…why is queen latifah in the role of an older woman……someone a lil older such as angela basset should of got the role….alicia can not act….and jennifer hudson…come on…its sad that best actor in the movie is dakota fanning…..i love to support my black sisters, but this movie looks wack….ill wait til it comes on lifetime…
A MOVIE THATS POSITIVE AND SOME FOUND A WAY 2 HATE ON IT………..WOW………LAMEZ……DONT SHIT ABOUT THIS MOVIE LOOK WACK
it looks good i guess.
I liked the book!!
and Dakota Fanning is off the chain….she will complete that movie.
-Alicia Keys throws me off i hope she steps up here acting to pull the part off.
I read this book a looong time ago and it should be a very interesting movie. I can’t wait to see it.
My thoughts exactly BIG VON; I can’t wait to see it.
should be great…can’t wait
lol.me either #2…cant c videos…trailers…nothing…except c the pictures…smh.o well.
Dakota Fanning is the best i can already tell she gonna win an award for this movie.
I like the book except Alicia Keys throws me off..
creative and very different storyline cant wait to watch it
Sounds like a movie I would probably like – I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
Dakota Fanning scares me.
The clip “looks” good but I am hoping we didn’t see the best part there.
My only gripe is that a movie comes out where black women are protecting/raising a white child. It also looks like Latifah is going to be cast as the sexless, overweight, caretaker of the group. There are some biases that just get under my skin and this is definitely one of them. Hopefully the story goes beyond the formula that I’m seeing.
I don’t want to holla “chitlins forever yall!” after I’m done viewing this film.
This film looks great….refreshing…..When ….scratch that…IF it ever comes to the UK I’ll go and see this…
I think it looks good, i cant wait to see it.
Dakota Fanning has always been a great actress, it will be interesting to see her in a grown up role!
Hopefully Jennifer Hudson will do ok, but is the “southern” accent the only one she can pull off? She had the exact same accent in Dreamgirls and SATC.
Queen Latifah can do no wrong in my book, and im interested to see Alicia Keys in the movie.
the book was AMAZING. i hope the movie is even better. sue monk kidd is an incredible writer… she also wrote the mermaid chair, another great book.
I’m going 2 go see it to support my boos Tristan Wilds & Nate Parker!
I would love to see it. I love Queen Latifah and Sophie Okonedo and I think Dakota is a wonderful young actress.
Dakota definately was born to act. The book is great. Ive never seen Alicia in a movie im sure latifa and jen will do well.
I’m definitely going to see this movie
WOW. Movie is very intriguing.. I will definitely check it out. I read the book and luved it..
Looks pretty good. My only problem is that I work with a bunch of ‘peaches’ (thats what my friends son calls them lol) and seeing them snatch a brotha and give the sistahs a hard time is going to piss me off! lol Thats why I can’t watch a lot of movies set back in the day…
It seems interesting. After all, it made me teary eyed a bit.
Can’t wait to see this movie even if I have to go by myself. I’m glad Tristan is in it, and Nate Parker is sooo sexy!
OMG I can’t wait to go and see this!!
LMAO @ Alicia’s hair
seems like a good movie tho i dont understand the concept too much
I read the book and it was very interesting but somewhat confusing to me glad to see the story brought to life on the big screen. I wish Sanaa Lathan was a charactor in this movie.
very intriguing, I will be going to see this…
I loved this book! The movie seems like it should be good enough.
I have to disagree that J. Huds accent is on point! Im from the area where her character is supposed to be from, and our accents are Geechee/Gullah, not the normal “country” we’re used to hearing on the movies. The producers should’ve done their research before directing her.
Other than that it looks like a great adaptation…definitely have to see it!
Yes, the book was good. And it will definitely be interesting to see if the film will do the original story any justice, since most film adaptations do not. Still, I do think that this film may turn out pretty good; I mean, just look at the cast—Dakota Fanning, Sophie Okonedo, Queen Latifah, and Nate Parker.
As for the other cast members, I think that this movie will definitely show if they have what it takes to be real and/or bankable actors (i.e. Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Tristan Wilds).
By the looks of the trailer and hearing Queen Latifah’s horrible southern accent, I’m not too interested. It looks like it should go straight to DVD.
YAWN. A bunch of black women with bad hairstyles and fake Southern accents, only one who can truly act more than one note (and that would be Sophie Okenedo) spouting spiritual platitudes and protecting a white child. And let’s not forget the inevitable sweet interracial storyline that ends up putting a black man in jeopardy. No, not interested. At all. I like Dakota Fanning but give the girl some better material. If they were going to make a movie about black and white women that showed the black women to be what we are – sexy, dynamic and confident with maybe some SATC type white chicks maybe I’d go see it. But this, I’ll pass on, thanks.
Wow. I read this book last year. I’ll definitely be supporting this movie, hopefully it’s as good as the book.
@ #42 NO ID….
I oculdn’t have said it any better. The either got blac kwomen playing mammies or harlots (that’s hoochies for you youngins).
This is another feeble attempt to pacify black folks.
@ #42 NO ID….
I couldn’t have said it any better. The either got Black women playing mammies or harlots (that’s hoochies for you youngins).
This is another feeble attempt to pacify black folks.
NEXT!
I’ll go see it
I also agree with number 12 Big Von…there aren’t many movies coming out with African Americans in it and people find a way to say something negative about it..wait until it comes out and go see it before you judge it please!! I myself being a black male wants to check this out….
I’m gonna watch it, fuck what anyone else thinks about it.
hmm A Black woman directed and wrote the screen play which is based on a critically acclaimed novel and ya’ll hating. WTF. But ya’ll all up on Tyler Perry.
@Linda Black people hate Black women so much that they won’t go see a movie directed by a Black woman even if the movie is ten times better than most Black directors. How many people saw Talk to Me directed by Kasi Lemmons? That answers your question. They would rather flock too predictable BS like Tyler Perry.
People are mad because they don’t got straight hair. WTF that’s a damn shame there ain’t shit wrong with your natural hair and seeing that this movie is based on the 60s and directed by a Black woman, some of ya’ll are Ignorant for real. I bet ya’ll would complain about the Colored Purple too. Why do Black people hate history so damn much.
Why would anyone think strong Black women like Alicia, Sophie, and the director of Love & Basketball would ever make a film degrading to Black women?
eaxctly at #52. But i do see where #42 is coming from. But I dont think they have an interracial relationship. I just think they’re friends hanging out. But I will go see the movie just cause it looks good and its all black women. Its directed, written and starring all BLACK WOMEN. PLEASE go out & support this film.
what is this jim crow bull
I already put this on my “I want to see” list on facebook. I’m not into dramas but this looks like a really good story. I haven’t read the put but I hope they stay true to it because I heard it was really good.
Alicia looks funny in her wig haha and she looks a little uncomfortable. But the movie looks good. I should look out for this book.
“No ID” and their groupie must be children. Look you dumb fools… the movie is set IN THE PAST; so there wasn’t any SATC or black females like your pathetic idol Samantha. Plus the females portrayed in the film are CULTURED and INTELLIGENT black women. So unlike you two bust-it-babies who scream over materialistic things… they value things of ACTUAL WORTH. Something your generation should learn. (note to Angel, can you please make an age requirement for posting comments on substantial posts like these… obviously we need one)
I agree with the previous commentor, this is a tired formula. As much as I would like to see the sisters in this movie, I can’t do a Mammy film, its 2008 for god sakes. Wasn’t Driving Miss Daisy and The Green Mile enough for us?
Why must we always have this crabs in a barrel mentality? Black people will go see a Tyler Perry movie (which is entertaining but VERY stereotypical) but this is supposed to be a bad depiction on black women? Some of you need a reality check. Sometimes I feel black people judge themselves more than white people do…
To all these people complaining about the “formula” of this movie, can I ask you a question? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE READ THE DAMN BOOK!? If you did, you wouldn’t be saying the dumb isht you’re saying. Their NOT playing mammies, there’s no interracial relationship seeing as though Tristan is 19 and Dakota Fanning is a little girl! (Come on people! THINK!). They’re intelligent, cultured black women making a living by harvesting honey from bees. They just happen to help out a little white girl (which PLENTY of black women did back in this time). This movie is ALL THINGS BLACK (actors, director, author), so why is it we’re hating on it, being negative, and tearing it down? Sometimes, you can’t please folks! At least read a synopsis of the book before you judge it when you have NO IDEA what it’s about! Jeesh!
