THE GOOD:…The story has it’s touching and bright moments like when Royce stands up and recites a Bible scripture for the funeral, or when the brothers put their differences aside and come together and then there’s Whoopi who gets to be Whoopi– I miss her. THE NOT-SO-GOOD:…Overall it seemed like a lot of arguing, fighting and drama to deal with on top of a funeral. Tense family moments related to strained marriages, the death of a family patriarch, miscarriage, and issues about smoking and drinking (one apparently having an alcoholism problem and another having one in the past) and jealousy of one another. The tense relationship issues tried to be funny but for the most part, family feuds just aren’t funny. There are African-American issues that will appeal to an audience who culturally understands and wants to explore them. There were just too many extremes that kept the story from being taken seriously.
