Freddy does get the most laughs, mostly for the wrong reasons because of his characters race related opinions. This is a story that could easily be a play too which is something I like to point out with this style of storytelling.Ĭomedy – The comedy in the film does work for the most part, the funniest moments do hit well, it is the small jokes that can sometimes miss. The story does keep things simple and each character does fit into a group even being individual enough. This does give us a real-time feel with the story and the secrets coming out push relationships to limits. Story – The story brings friends and family together for a couple’s announcement, with the whole story taking place over this one evening. Denyce Lawton and Brian Hooks are great too, while Esau McGraw gives us a character we grow to dislike early. Performances – This is a great ensembled cast giving us strong performances throughout, the biggest known star is Tiffany Haddish after last years ‘Girls Trip’ who only gives us glimpses of the pure energy she bought to that film, she must take the back burner at times in this film. They all work for different moments in the film. We have plenty of other characters are this party with Clara’s loud brother who has always been against most people and her judgemental father that spends the night putting Ray down. Mishawn is Clara’s best friend, the one that knows the news she wants to tell and has turned her party ways into a more stable relationship with Ty.
