    • Trivia
      In reality, Willie Earl (Austin Scott) is actually about 5 years younger than Bayou, (Joshua Boone) who plays his younger brother, despite playing the older brother.
    • Goofs
      When Bayou, Willie Earl, and Ira arrive in Chicago; the weather is warm or spring-like as indicated by the clothes being worn and the physical demeanor of the folks out on the street. However, there are posters announcing upcoming shows on February 9 and March 23 therefore it has to be winter in Chicago, and winter in Chicago has historically always been freezing.

    Decent drama debut for Tyler Perry

    Tyler Perry makes a drama. It was ok and glad I watched thru to the end. I almost turned it off about 30 minutes in because I thought the movie was going in a different direction but then saw it wasn't. Story ended up good and original. Some of the themes were to be expected though. Even had unexpected twists. Acting was good. But I walked away feeling meh overall about it. The problem with was the pacing. Dragged too much. Felt myself getting up too many times. Lip syncing was bad during the songs. Needed tightened up and about 30 minutes taken off the film. Love the song in the credits. Added it to my chill playlist.
