The Pass

This film follows Nina (Drew Sidora) and Maurice (Rob Riley), a married couple who decide to explore an unconventional idea - a "hall pass" from fidelity.

What starts as a straightforward concept takes an unexpected turn,

leading to deception and intrigue.

The film's clever storytelling keeps viewers on the edge, surprising them with unexpected plot twists just when they think they've figured it all out.

In "The Pass," creative storytelling and gripping intrigue blend seamlessly to deliver an engaging cinematic experience.

While Kandi shines on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and in her music career, her foray into acting might not be her strongest suit.

Her performances lack conviction and appear somewhat lackluster. In "The Pass," her portrayal falls a bit short, lacking the necessary depth.

However, the film remains enjoyable, especially with a glass of wine in hand. The drama.

Unlike most guessed ending about 7 minutes in and while giving some actors props that first scene when they were touring the house - just absolutely painful - those silences that lingered - Drew tried to carry it against the overacting 101 she was up against but no one could put lipstick on that pig Was actually looking forward but to this but honestly it just was not worth 90 minutes of my life If you're a Real Housewives of Atlanta fan can see you clicking this on Peacock but even with that you may find it a slog to get through to the end - or just fast forward to the final 5 minutes Guess for a first movie attempt at really low budget maybe the movie gets a pass too but next time spend the money so all your actors are of the same level.

It was like a dry ass soft porno...1 star for effort, I just expected more. Of course their fan base will love it. The acting is horrible and the plot is ridiculous, I mean damn how many unnecessary twist and turns you want us to take. If you're gonna have that many sex scenes at least have some top tier acting to go with it. It was like I was watching something from the 90s. The cast members were dressed nice and I did not see any microphones in the wigs so it wasn't all bad I guess. I don't know seem like it was all over the place if they cut back on some of the twist and turns it would've possibly made more sense. My girlfriend was into it though.

Its not so much about the low budget, kudos to that....its more about making a real FILM. Todd did that...However I agree with the others, over doing scenes does not make better scenes. Rushing to get a film finished can lead to lesser quality acting and scenes. I just don't think Kandi should be acting. Even in The Chi her skills are forced . Clearly. You DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ACTRESS KANDI! It's ok to be a singer, producer, director....but acting is definitely not your talent. Drew is always a great actress, I just think her personal stress from her clearly unloyal husband really has her off her game....but don't let that squash her future.... Hollywood aka Tyler Perry really needs to start casting Drew Sidora . We do get tired of seeing the same black women constantly in acting roles that im certain ALOT of other black women are equally talented for. Todd has good direction, he's just focused on budget when clearly that shouldn't be a major factor. Afterall im sure his wife isn't skimping on her productions/ products etc...how much money do y'all need to make??? Too many irons in the fire.... Make another film Todd, with only your name headlining.

A few things: I don't like being negative but the 2 stars are for Drew's acting and Todd for his first movie. The -8 stars are for the following harsh but honest observations: There are a few decent amateur actors like Drew's mom & boss but every other actor was awful! Very hard to watch.

Personally, I think Todd & Kandi had the oppty to elevate our people and not use the "N" word but apparently they think that's how all AA speak to each other which is sad. Not 1 man in the entire film had screen appeal and their acting was cringey. Drew's sex scene was the only thing that demonstrated acting.
