Philadelphia-based television talk-show host Stormy LaRue (Tangi Miller) has always put her professional life before her personal life, but when her terminally ill Nana (Aloma Wright) makes one last wish to see Stormy marry, the self-centered media starlet embarks on a tireless mission to seek out the ideal husband. All Nana ever wanted was to see Stormy exchange her wedding vows, and all Stormy wants is to make her loving Nana's dreams come true. But what's a woman to do if she can't find the
perfect spouse? Now, as Stormy scrambles to hire an actor to pose as her husband and videotape the sham ceremony to send to her ailing grandmother, Nana surprises everyone by announcing that she plans to attend the wedding in person. Things go from bad to worse when the minister, a lifelong friend to Stormy, senses that something isn't quite right about the radiant bride and her dashing groom. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Despite the plot's predictability, this formulaic sitcom written by its talented star, Tangi Miller, is well-enough executed with the help of a colorful supporting cast to be rated a worthwhile rental.
Using lightweight humor to take some of the bittersweet edge off black female pain, the film walks a fine line between staying serious or opting for an all-out buppie screwball crowd pleaser, and discarding certain stereotypes while reinforcing others.
A very happy ending for all, but it was very aggravating to get there. I was annoyed beyond belief by the dense male stripper and horrified that grown women would stoop to those levels to fake a wedding while hurting a nice caring person. They redeemed themselves by giving everyone what they deserved in the end.
