Unthinkably Good Things

Thoroughly enjoyed this film. The actresses were great especially Erica Ash. Sure some of this was far fetched, but it was enough feels and truth to remind you of your long lasting friendships and how life gets tougher the older you get.

If you are in the middle for a feel good film, that makes you smile, and reflect on your girlfriends, this is the movie for you.

Again great acting by all. And here's to adding text to make the minimum count, good grief. Again recommend a watch, as the actresses are very talented.

If a book is what is required, I shall write a novel. With a little more depth. And a bit more space. I will get to be able to make this post. Almost there.

So - I've reviewed this a couple of times - and my review never gets posted.

I wanted to like this movie. The concept seemed fun. All about friendship - longterm friendships. Trusting each other. Having fun together ... sounds fun!

Well - in some respects it was. The friendships were genuine. The problems friends have were real. The resolutions - a little farfetched ... but acceptable.

I felt there was WAY too much stuff going on. Trying to follow what was going on with each was confusing. (The Wedding Veil trilogy did it better - focusing on one friend at a time - but still playing on the friendships.) I was having trouble following what each of the women were involved doing and if/how it affected the other friends.

Also - seemed more suited to BET than Hallmark. Just my opinion ...

I really hope they make a series of movies. It was funny and charming and of course it had Lance in it so add extra stars for that! I would love to see what happens next for all of the characters in the movie. The setting was Italy and that made it even more enjoyable to watch. I wouldn't listen to the haters, my only wish is that it were a 4 part series like they do other Hallmark movies. About 4 movies a year would be nice. I don't think I would tire of seeing Lance Gross and Luca Seta. Teri Vaughn did a great job setting things up for a series of films. We can only hope there's more stories to tell.

I'm sorry, but there were too many plots going on and took too long to merge into a cohesive story. Too many times the storylines were resolved in unrealistic fantasy which made me lose interest in the characters and whatever mainline plot was attempting to be achieved.

Some good acting, but overshadowed by the lack of cohesiveness between the storylines. I had a hard time relating to the characters being portrayed as it seemed to be a scatterbrained attempt to bring multiple plots together. I guess because the main story was about friendships, it's really hard to develop a storyline that isn't quickly boring. I unfortunately lost interest about half way through and only half paid attention until it ended. I tried, but couldn't stop being cynical about the dialog in many cases. It may have been that many of the interactions between the characters were too lackluster and unrealistic for me.

How refreshing to see these lovely, beautiful Black women depict a strong bond and sisterhood.

We don't always want to see trauma, severe pain and social woes (although there's importance in telling the stories as well -and they are needed). A balance of seeing the sweet side of life is also imperative and inspiring.

Loved all the ladies and was immediately impressed by Karen Pittman! Who IS this woman?!?You can see her depth.

Erica ash's comedic talent comes through; Joyful Drakes sweetness is clearly evident through the character she portrays.

The scenery, fashion, setting was a pallet refresh!

I was there with them and enjoyed the journey.

Id love to see more films like this; depicting our beautiful Black women!
