Sure Looks Good

Can you count on your friends through thick and thin? Better yet, who do you run to when you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? I had the chance to review Sure Looks Good from Maverick Entertainment Group and it showed me that there's no problem too big for your friends to help you solve.

While much of the storyline felt somewhat familiar, there is something special about this film. It takes us through the lives of four different women as they try to deal with motherhood, personal struggles, relationships, and more. This is a movie that exemplifies the true meaning of friendship. April, Pam, Sharon, and Simone each have their own vice they are trying to overcome. Whether it's a sexual addiction, cheating, bad parenting, or lack of spousal support, their loyalty to one another cannot be questioned.

Sure Looks Good is a romantic drama that exploits good friends as they identify those obstacles and overcome them together. What struck me the most was how the film combined a little bit of everything from drama, comedy, and romance. It offered a lot more than I expected. You not only care about the characters in this film, you actually see them grow up on screen.

Though the cast was all African American actors, this is movie for all ethnic backgrounds. Anyone can relate to the issues these women are facing.

I liked this film. I actually came across it on a message board. I figured I'd watch it out of boredom, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's sort of like the hood version of "Waiting to Exhale". But don't think its a movie JUST for black women, because I really think any woman of any race can relate.

Maybe I enjoyed it because it was shot in Philadelphia ( My home away from home) or maybe it was because I saw myself in each of the women. Some of the acting needed work, but you can definitely get passed that. The ladies were enjoyable, and the message is friendship is everything. You can get through anything with your girls holding you down!
