I really wanted to like this movie. Amazing cast. Interesting and timely ( kind of) premise. Boy meets girl. Realizes love isn't enough. Meeting families can be hard work. Addressing stereotypes and racial animosity, are introduced but not satisfactorily dealt with. This movie was extremely poorly executed. And could have used another rewrite.
I didn't think it was possible to make Eddie Murphy unlikable and boring. Well, if they succeeded at anything they achieved this honor. More time should have been given to resolving family differences. And if you are going to bring up a controversial subject, deal with it in full or leave it alone.
After giving it some thought I've assigned the blame to the director. It feels over directed. Eddie's character was arrogant and disrespectful. He should have been snarky and ironic. Nia Long's character was under developed.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus Is the one stand out. I looked forward to her showing up.
This is perhaps the lowest rating I've ever given a movie.
