A fun, heartwarming movie, and Eddie Murphy and Yara Shahidi shine. There is a reason why variations of certain plots keep getting made, and that's because they work as entertainment. And, given the cast and setting, I thought this wasn't just a run-of-the-mill take on the theme.

Very well done, interesting characters and story, great acting and directing, and some lovely camera shots. It didn't seem too long at all, and the music was terrific as well. I'm very glad the novel's ending was changed. Seems like a movie for our time.....

What an amazing story, and a riveting film - so well documented, one of the best films I've seen. My heart goes out to all the people who were put through so much in the course of getting to the truth of this matter, and for those who were so courageous in their sharing to illuminate the depths of the horror that took place....

I thought this movie was going to be a joke and only gave it a try because I've enjoyed movies with these actors before, and I figured they wouldn't do it if it wasn't going to be OK. It was a lot more realistic than I thought it would be, and the actors didn't take themselves too seriously. Entertaining, which is why I watch movies, right?
