[@tashahall1855]

This movie was good however, Zora played dumb right from the start. I could tell just by the way Franklin carried himself that they wouldnt be a good match. Then, after they slept together Franklin pretty much told Zora , he had nothing to offer. Yet Zora kept trying. I learned anytime a man tells you bad things about himself, take it as a warning and walk away.

Marriage will not stop a lazy lover

[@lisasimpson8003]

@@blacksosa6916 i agree. I never said it would. But heres what i kno as a child free woman by choice who is the product of a married black couple: The purpose of marry b4 u carry is NOT to secure a " non lazy lover", its NOT to " guarantee" a good coparent. Its giver your child a higher rate of security. Meaning: there are deadbeat absentee fathers in all shapes and sizes-- some deadbeat dads are ex boyfriends, some are ex husbands. But please know that MOST deadbeat dads are ex boyfriends NOT ex husbands... Thats something women of other races understand, but black women cant seem to grasp.. Me and my sister have the same father but different moms. ** My dad was never married to my sisters mom**, BUT he was married to my mom for 16 years. My dad did everything for me-- financially supported me my whole childhood, and even helped me pay for graduate school in my 30s.. He never did anything for my sister, she never saw a penny, he never gave her moral support/ emotional support... Now, i kno youre gonna try to diss my dad to insult me lol, and thats fine bcz my dad is 1000% wrong for abandoning my sister whom i love. But understand, men treat children from marriage completely different than how men treat children from " baby mommas". Men view baby mamas as " damaged goods"-- ive heard several men say that YEARS before the manosphere/red pill existed.. Marriage is just like a seatbelt for ur kids, seatbelts DONT guarantee kids are safe from harm in a car accident but they increase security. And if youre child is injured in a car accident and the injuries could have been prevented by a seatbelt then why would u be critical of seatbelts? You seem critical of my argument about marriage lol. Marriage is for the security of the kids.

I learn loving a person doesn’t mean you let them walk over or on you, marriage is a partnership, both you are a team working together not just one of you working on both of your dreams.

It was brief but fun go to the beginning when she was moving into her brownstone he was the guy that was unloading her things on the sidewalk with the other movers. She got mad becuz they had to go, Sanaa threatened their jobs and Laz stated “the number is on the f**kin truck lady” or something like that 😂 it’s crazy how when u go revisit movies and u be like wow that was him the whole time after they already became famous.

[@christophertaylor8202]

Bruh if gaslighting was a person it was definitely him 😂

[@MrExtraFINESSEtrial]

Sad to see these conditions even in acting. A woman of such importance treated with disrespect. At least wash the dishes Yo! 😂😂😂 Lazy bum

[@artiswilkins306]

BUT--this intelligent woman was allowing him to treat her this way--ummmmm--NOPE!!!!

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Such an important lady, yet she chose to open her legs for a bum 😂

[@MrExtraFINESSEtrial]

The heart is treacherous and desperate! I'm stating the obvious, you're here to argue 😂😂😂 sad truth, most people are that LAZY

[@michael-qe4iz]

I actually forgot I've read this book, very good read, I was finding my way around black literature and love, snipe's character was very close to the book, and I've had a crush on Sanaa for the longest time.

[@RahYisrael99]

The character portrayal is spot on with Porsha, Zora, and Franklin.

[@lissa2046]

Whoo!! He played that part good as shit...."the average black man"😂

[@Jazzy-vx5sx]

I got to meet him during the filming of this movie. My school was across the street from the bar they filmed at. A bunch of us kids waited after school, and he came over and said hello.

[@alexiswilliams1156]

This is a perfect example of not falling for potential and promises. It doesn’t matter what they say they will do, what are they doing right now? And if nothing changed, would you be ok with the life you have with them right now? If Zora really thought about that, she wouldn’t have had that baby and she wouldn’t have to take care of a grown ass man.

[@latisewilson4561]

So true!

[@Shayrh2007]

This movie was something else…but that song Brooklyn is my jam

[@srobinson4070]

Always make yourself a priority. Look after yourself first before you look after anyone else. Look after your health and everything else first in your personal life before taking a man in your life. Who needs a man like this in their life to drag you down to struggle. When God is in your life the rest will follow because God will protect you and the rest will follow. I don’t want to judge any women because we have all fallen short and made mistakes in the sight of God. Take care of yourselves Ladies and God bless you all

[@therealmccoy8799]

Classic!!

[@TristenH-l5v]

For anyone interested this is also a book…excellent read!

[@phenomenalwife5380]

I WOULD NEVER tolerate this Bullshit u hear me... I be DAM

[@Finessa_Williams]

“Reg Called” always has me screaming🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ministryofhealingfarm]

Yes I read this in high school! Only dated guys who were in college and doing something important after that. It really formed my standards growing up as a young lady...my dad told me you'll fall in love with anyone so date in the hood, after that book I knew!!

[@dhynacash4114]

I’ve never heard a woman say “I’m trying to find a job” they always have one and always find a way to provide. This movie is so accurate even down to the gaslighting.

[@ashleygoodrich3294]

And then guys wonder why I don’t want to have babies, when we should invest in things like therapy and how to make investments

[@furrymonkeything]

My mum kept telling my niece "its a blessing" each time, now she's a single mum with possibly 3 baby daddies.

[@eddiecampbell9663]

Great movie

[@thelyrixnicole]

Whewwww!! The accuracy!!! That was GOODDDD!!

[@TheManFromKansas]

Forgot to pick up his own kid? 2 cold 2 look for work?, So the weather determines if you go look for a job? a sad but truthful scene. He got comfortable because he knows he got a high wage earning woman and a roof over his head. This is why professional high value black women, don't want to mess with the average non professional black man,this is a sad but reality check scene right here.

[@AnomalyBelleza]

Hail to the oh no. 😂 I’ll stay single, free, traveled and unbothered over this any day of the week, month, year and lifetime

[@Albertray123]

It was a great movie and he finally got it together

[@denisejackson776]

This was my FAVORITE BOOK! I LOVE this MOVIE!🔥❤️💯💕

[@Denzelswife-rb7qz]

Crazy men still playing the same games !!

[@the_queen_redeemed]

Danggg he tracks her period so he already knew her tale was pregnant 😂😂😂😂

[@kayviannaprofit4522]

My ex-husband knew I was pregnant before I knew. Crazy work🤦‍♀️

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Men are smart 😂

[@chefsteph3780]

him saying all the right things and not good enough

[@breezedagod4405]

This is what some women do to themselves all the time and then ask for a good man to save the day and fix the mistake🤦🏿‍♂️. Understand when somebody isn’t right for you from the jump and give the right dude an opportunity you’ll end up with better results because no good man is obligated to want to be with a single mother after the relationship with her baby father falls through good woman or not. it’s hard out here and some women expect the world from the second man instead of the first one they made a baby with and that’s not going to cut it. The second man ain’t about to jump through more hoops than the first one did because he knows his worth and will just find a woman without kids and without the drama of dealing with what it entails to be with a woman that has that mindset.

[@saramatthews7159]

This movie got me all the way together when I was 15 years old. This was when I learned that I NEVER EVER wanted to have a baby with a black male. At 40 I've not regretted my decision of remaining childfree!

[@nathanscipio6148]

Foh. This happens within every race under the sun. Ya'll always trying to make Black men the poster child for every negative aspect of your existence. You definitely did the right thing. Please stay away!💯

[@BeyondTheV00]

Lady what?!😂😂😂 how are you gonna judge a whole race of men based on a movie?! The millions of black men in this world are not all the same…

[@MsMoore-bj9lq]

You did good. This is coming from a black woman. Statistics don’t lie. Shoot, you don’t even need statistics. Just look around.

[@mordakie3805]

Come on now 😂

[@leodelicious865]

​@@BeyondTheV00Look around you

[@user-fd9mx5hd5c]

This! Can we talk about just how fine Wesley Snipes is in this film?

[@tmccabe72]

He needed facial hair. His head looked like the top of a penis. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just odd imo.

[@brittanyr1456]

That’s how Zora got caught up 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@alexandrahutchinson4516]

Um he’s not

[@denisejackson776]

Yes girl!❤

[@TF-gf3fs]

So you want us to fabricate?

[@ebonywhite1388]

I read this book so many times. This movie tho, only watched once and that was enough.

[@dreasf1143]

Does the book have the same title?

[@crgrayray]

​@dreasf1143 ...Yes and the book is way better than the movie.

[@rocky123b6]

I did not like his bald head

[@billking1751]

I don't know who came up with that idea.

[@KDShaolinMenace]

Blade going through it with his moms again yo

[@Larry-zv8li]

Never seen this movie. When he said it was too cold to look for a job, after he forgot to pick up the baby and wash the dishes 😆

[@Nasha-y9i]

SMH… nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ruin a woman’s life like having a baby with a loser…..

[@ionwhy2561]

This was an awesome movie!!

[@reignbowjonson4766]

He on that couch chillin, chillin 😂

[@simplyblesd]

That’s some honesty for you Wesley…deal with it! Anytime a man say he’ll get the jobs sis, run! He’s got low earning potential and he probably always will

[@open2417]

Great movie and even greater book by Terry McMillan!

[@smoothsounds769]

Not Omar Snipes 😂

[@viewmaster617]

I'm sleep🤣🤣🤣
