Based
on a novel by the infamous Christian preacher TD Jakes, screenplay adapted by
Brian Bird and directed by Bill Duke; this inspirational 2009 film scored a
couple of nominations and wins. ‘Easy on the eyes’ Morris Chestnut and ‘power-house
actress’ Taraji P. Henson teamed up as a couple going through the pressures of
marriage and tested with the trials of life.
Dimpled
hottie Eddie Cibrian, hilarious Kevin Hart and the renowned voice to be
reckoned with from actress Jennifer Lewis offered some lightness in between the
heavy and heart-wrenching story. There wasn’t a whole lot of back story but
thanks to the fantastic acting our viewers were able to connect easily with the
character’s joys and pain.
True
happiness doesn’t just appear; it takes dedication, un-wavering faith, and the
ability to admit your wrong and be willing to change to fix a troublesome
relationship/marriage. This film reminds us that life hardens us but that it’s
okay to let life soften us again too – I’ll leave you with one of my favourite
lines, that went: “Sometimes you have to let life turn you upside down…so you’ll
know how to live right side up…”
