- Quotes
[Grace has pointed a gun at Eddie live on air during the Sex-Switcheroo dress up day on the talk show]
Joan Marshall: [on the phone with police] We have been taken hostage by a lone gunman. Gun person. She is a disgruntled employee. Set off by a case of postpartum depression. No, the drag outfits aren't part of her demand.
Featured review
It squanders an opportunity to be about the class differences between a working-class Black woman (Jean-Baptiste) and her boss (Rosie Perez, who despite the cast list above, is the focus of the entire film) and settles for all the cliches about juggling work and family duty. It's directed incompetently, worst than most television programs, with an inbalanced story structure and lazy, imprecise screenplay.
