MY MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS TV MOVIE, IS THEY COULDN'T DECIDE IF THEY WANTED TO DO A SERIOUS LOOK AT BIGAMY OR MAKE IT A COMEDY. I DIDN'T LIKE IN CERTAIN SCENES THEY MADE LIGHT OF THE FACT SHE WAS JUGGLING TWO MEN. CONNIE'S CHARACTER WAS SELFISH, PETTY, IMMATURE, AND HURTFUL. IF THE GENDERS WERE REVERSED, THE MAN WOULD'VE BEEN PERCEIVED AS A JERK. CONNIE'S HUSBAND WAS A GOOD MAN THAT DIDN'T DESERVE THAT. HE DID NOTHING TO HER IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. SHE WAS BASICALLY TRYING TO RELIVE HER YOUTH. I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHO THIS FILM WAS ACTUALLY BASED ON. ON THE ACTING SIDE CONNIE, PERRY, AND A MARTINEZ DID A FINE JOB.

RICHARD PRYOR WAS NOT THE FIRST ACTOR TO DO MULTIPLE CHARACTERS IN A FILM. PETER SELLERS, DANNY KAYE DID CHARACTERS IN THEIR FILMS LONG B4 PRYOR. HOWEVER, RICHARD PRYOR WAS THE FIRST BLACK ACTOR TO ACHIEVE THIS FEAT. EDDIE MURPHY I THINK WAS BETTER AT DOING MULTIPLE CHARACTERS. WHEN EDDIE PLAYED A CHARACTER, EDDIE WOULD TOTALLY DISAPPEAR TO THE POINT U FORGOT IT WAS HIM. PRYOR'S 3 CHARACTERS ASIDE FROM THEIR MAKEUP, ARE NOT MUCH DIFFERENT. THEY SOUNDED LIKE HIM, ACTED LIKE HIM SO U BASICALLY KNEW IT WAS PRYOR. PRYOR AS THE OLD MAN IS THE FUNNIEST THING IN THIS MOVIE AND IT'S A CRIME HE WASN'T GIVEN MORE SCREEN TIME. PRYOR AS LEROY WAS NOT VERY SMART OR A LIKABLE CHARACTER. U DON'T SYMPATHIZE WITH A COWARD WHO COULDN'T JUST WALK AWAY FROM HIS MARRIAGE. INSTEAD HE JUGGLES MULTIPLE WOMEN AND TRIES TO KEEP IT TOGETHER. THEN HYPOCRITICALLY IS VERY UPSET WHEN HE FINDS HIS WIFE IS PREGNANT BY THE REVEREND THOMAS (ALSO PRYOR). 5 SCENES THAT I'D SUGGEST FORWARDING YOUR DVD TO SEE: LEROY AND HIS DAD GOIN AT IT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE FILM, THE OLD MAN BEEFIN BOUT HIS CHICKEN, THE REVEREND'S SERMON, THE OLD MAN SEEING LEROY'S WIFE HALF DRESSED, AND LEROY AND THE REVEREND HAVIN IT OUT IN THE CHURCH!

The characters on this show are NOT likable. They're arrogant, cocky, disrespectful to women, they cheat on their wives, and i think KINDA racist too. The only brothas on this show are waiters, porters, etc. However, it's VERY well acted. They play their parts so well u really think they're those characters. The wardrobe, sets, art design are very well done. I can tell they're really goin for accuracy to match the era of the times. Don Draper is NOT a likable character in any shape or form. He does what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants regardless of whom he hurts. The rest of the characters seem to be that way too.
