The overall acting was great. The story follows the book series and I love the chemistry between Desa Rae and Roc. It's as if they pulled them right from the book and placed them into the movie. The baby mama Vanessa did her thing too. I suspect there will be more coming from her, especially since there was more from her in the book. I have watched this movie, at least, twenty times. It gets better and better and I don't think I will ever get enough. Coke Horner, who plays the uncle added so much fire to this movie. Would love to see more from him too and the ending shook me. I'm looking forward to part 2.
