Love the musical part of the movie. Tamera that plays Danielle seem like she was trying to hard to act did not really enjoy that character. Chelsea that plays Claire really enjoyed her in the movie and her story line. Tamera has a beautiful voice though. Over all it was an ok movie just wish Danielle seemed move comfortable playing her part. The musical aspect of the movie was wonderful. I wish Danielle's daughter looked a little younger. The character that was playing her daughter looked older than a teenager. If you love music would a be a good movie to watch just seem like the acting was off.

The story is about two talented women who failed to pass Broadway auditions when they were young. So, they moved on to focus on family and job. Two decades later, they get a second chance when they partner up for an American Idol type of show. One mother has an arc of learning that it's okay to be a little selfish. The other has an arc of learning to accept help from others.

The Caucasian brunette, Claire, is a single mom working hard to support two sons. When the older one (who really needs a haircut) started giving her attitude, I wanted to smack him. And the movie failed to have him apologize to her in person.

I liked Claire's love interest. The character is just a really good guy.

I wasn't expecting this competition to have only two rounds. The host's name is a hilarious nod, though.

First and foremost, I'm loving this family films. Secondly, the friendship, the work/life/family/happiness balance, yea this film had all of that. I feel like as people, we tend to forget to put ourselves and our happiness first. Tamera's character (Danielle) dealt with that. Chelsea's character (Claire) was family focused. They both had similar goals with different approaches. You really don't see alot of representation of that in films nowadays. It created a beautiful sisterhood between them. I also love how once Dani decided to chase her own happiness her family not only supported her but encouraged her. This was a really great film. I watched it with my family and we loved it. Chelsea is amazing dancer and oh my gosh, Tamera's voice is sooo soothing. Voice of an Angel. Great film! I'll definitely be watching again!

The movie is an absolute disappointment, lacking any redeeming qualities or interesting plot points. From poor acting to cringe-worthy dialogue, it fails to engage the audience. There are no moments of excitement or emotion, leaving viewers feeling bored and uninvolved. It is difficult to find anything positive to say about this film, as it falls short in almost every aspect. Overall, it is a regrettable experience not worth anyone's time. I was expecting a fun movie night, which this was certainly not. Despite the increasing use of a particular form, professional standards are being neglected and are lower than ever before. It is indeed a disheartening experience for individuals who are passionate about cinema.

The storyline was relatable not only to Moms, but to anyone who still has a dream they haven't pursued. I could completely relate to the relationship Danielle (Tamera Mowry Housley) had with her daughter and loved their interactions, especially their dance scenes and when she realized that she didn't like the example she had been setting for her daughter. Tamera's vocals were stellar and her acting was believable. Her chemistry with her co-lead and the other actors was great. In fact, I felt she brought out the best in everyone.

3 generations of women (my daughter, me and my Mom) thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was the perfect movie for Mother's Day weekend. Bravo!!!!

I thought the movie was fantastic!! It was so relatable to us moms! Listening to Tamera sing just makes me so happy. Her voice is so angelic. Glad to see her in her element! I felt the chemistry was great with the entire cast and acting was great as well. It was so authentic. Everything just flowed so organically. My mom called me and she's already watched twice and calls me every time it comes on! Lol. The movie inspired me to never give up on my dreams even though I'm a mom. My kids will see that I kept pushing and it will set a great example for them to keep pursuing their passions! This was definitely a feel good movie/musical! I'll be watching again! Great job!

This was a good movie, it brought in some realism that Hallmark has traditionally neglected with the prince charming and return to hometown plots. We immediately saw that the women are bustling with the diner scene and rushing to work scene. We got panoramic shots of the city so it clicked they're big city girls that tried to get a break. I like that the women have real-life issues, it hits home as a momma who chose domesticity over my career. I don't like abandoned single mom characters. I would've preferred Claire be widowed. Call me old-fashioned but I don't like it promoted although it's modern day reality. Overall nice movie about following your dreams and nice duality between characters and overall cast chemistry.

I'm a bit partial to the Christmas movies only but this touching story captivated me. I like that the leading ladies were not the typical friendship you'd witness. Different socioeconomic and ethic backgrounds with the woman of color having financial status. I feel this should be the norm to represent more BIPOC households.

I loved the talent. Both ladies can dance and the twin's character can sing and she's gotten so much better with time. I genuinely just enjoy a showmanship movie. Lifetime and Hallmark are great at storytelling and dialogue, but I yearn for upbeat stories with theater. These actors usually come from musical backgrounds so I hope we see more original songwriting and scores.

I hope to see more of these two in the holidays. Very gorgeous young women who keeps the Hallmark spirit alive with their quintessential beauty, bright smiles, and amazing acting abilities. 9 for the uniqueness, diverse cast, and artistry.
