CGiii Comment

Sub-standard chick flick - with the obligatory gay hairdresser (and husband), lousy acting, over-acting, dull and uninspired writing.

It's almost like watching a very bad version of Dream Girls without the music.

Whitaker should stick to acting because his directing talents leave much to be desired.

A complete and utter bomb.
