The only one that acts normal is Taraji’s dad (in the movie) played by Richard Roundtree. I know her character is supposed to be a bit of a mess, but it’s all too much. And I’m sure she could be funny, but this just wasn’t it.Īnd did they even have to dress Erykah Badu up? Or did she just pull that hairstyle and outfit out her own damn closet? Lol Not sure why I expected her to act right either, but I didn’t like her acting or her character. But Taraji? This was disrespectful to her and her talent! She’s an emotional actress, not a comedian. Now, I totally expect this kind of dramatic, trying hard to be funny, kind of acting from Tracy Morgan because he’s extra, and that’s just his “brand”. Like who the hell shaves with someone else’s razor when they don’t know them? What BLACK woman is walking into some dude’s bathroom that she has never hung out with before, to use HIS razor, to shave HER legs? Why did they make her be SO dramatic? Like it was such bad acting! And I know that couldn’t have been her fault, cause she’s a great actress! So that makes me believe this is how the directors wanted her character to be? Ugh! Like, I really felt bad that Taraji was in this! It’s all so damn overdramatized it’s ridiculous! It was annoying as hell! The only song that fit was Golden by Jill Scott. Like you were watching a modern film but listening to a throwback playlist at the same time. So the songs just felt like they were thrown into the film. But this movie clearly wasn’t set in the 90s and nothing about this movie screamed 90s! (Like Missing Link could have been so much better if they had a few memorable songs for kids to really LOVE that movie.)īut the music in this movie didn’t make no damn sense! Every song was from the 90s or a throwback song. I’m big on music period, BUT it’s on a whole different level when it comes to visuals because I feel like the music just has to make sense! If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, then you know I’m big on music in films and tv shows. But um … who did the music? Cause this shit just doesn’t mix! Henson in What Men Want from Paramount Pictures and Paramount Players.
