Movie Reviews of Love on Layaway

Movie Review: A lovely play...3.5 stars
Summary: 3 Stars

After watching Talberts 'Fabric of A Man', I decided to get this play and liked it. I give it 3.5 stars as a play rating. It was engaging, funny and enlightening. It is about three couples who are at a crossroad in their relationship. All three wants commitments from their lovers. I am one of many women unsure about marriage today.
Let's talk about Deborah Cox's role. She played a woman (Monique) who desperately wanted her boyfriend (played by the handsome Mel Jackson) to commit and marry her. He simply did not want to. I really enjoyed the dialogue between the two. He says its better to remain live-in lovers because the relationship stays fresh. He compared it to leasing a car. While Deborah Cox says marrying a woman is like buying a house. Treat them right and their value increases. I actually liked the fact that Mel was honest about his feelings. Plus wait til you hear his rationale...funny. A new neighbor mends the three couples back together. In the end the men all see the light, but one of then should have stood his ground. The play of course had spirtual undertones but was still enjoyable.
A nice outro from the writer is also present.
Not all characters were enjoyable (some a bit annoying) but they worked well together.
Look out for the ever handsome Mykel Shannon.

Movie Review: Love on Layaway
Summary: 3 Stars

I give this 3.5 stars. I'm stuck somewhere in the middle because after finishing it I liked it. It was cute. But I didn't give it 4 stars because I started watching it and it turned me off so much that I stopped the dvd. Then it came on BET Sunday and I was kinda flipping back & forth and catching bits that I hadn't seen. And ended up putting the dvd back in so I could finish it. The Epiphany character got on my nerves sooooo freaking bad & that's mainly the reason why I stopped the dvd the first time.

Monique is dating committment-phobe Anthony. I didn't agree with some of his views but she had been letting him milk her for 4 1/2 years so why should he pay for the milk after all that time. She did teach him a few things about treating a woman right but I didn't look too highly upon her because she was yet another sister with good talk but had "stupid woman disease" in her actions. Epiphany didn't see what a good thing she had with Reggie. He should've dropped her anyway. She had too much baggage and attitude and he didn't need it. Renzo was over-the-top which was either funny or annoying depending on the scene.

Movie Review: This Was Okay
Summary: 3 Stars

I was able to sit through the entire DVD, but it didn't move me the way Tyler's plays does. This play seems to be geared towards the more serious minded person and I love a good laugh.
