This is a good movie to watch, it has so many mixed feelings. Made me laugh and cry, a rollercoaster of emotions. They did very well with choosing the characters to portray the crazy broken family. The main character uses her knowledge as a mother to try and reconnect her family. It also shows hard topics that are hard to discuss especially when it is in the family. It shows how secrets can impact you as a person and how the choices they make matter. Everyone has issues but it should never stop anyone from asking for help. It really shows each and everyone's issues and most of them are trying to keep it to themselves.

It was well made fun. Tearful at the end. Too bad this family didn't come together when the protagonist was alive, this the title. Yes, I recommend for everyone. A good family film.

This is a good movie; I didn't feel like I wasted two hours of my time like with SO many other movies! Nice to see Whoopi in an understated performance. All the acting was good - but - even in a drama, Tichina Arnold makes me laugh! Too many years of watching "Martin" I guess... The hand-written letters that Whoopi's character left at the end was special...a great idea in this digital age. Okay, in the church scene where she sees her estranged husband and his girlfriend, who noticed Whoopi's homage to Guinan with her hat? Overall, this is a movie that most should enjoy; yes it feels a bit rushed, but if each character was fully developed, the movie would be four hours long.

This was surprisingly a great movie to see. This movie really provided a lesson that sometimes in life you can't do anything to break the chaos you and your family may have. It also provides a lesson on how hard life is and how hard it can be. It was a great performance. I couldn't take the movie when the scene came up with the children reading the letters to each other, because it was a little too prepared. How would she have known everything up to the last detail. However, it was still a nice scene to watch. It brought the tears out of me as a good movie. As I watched this I thought the cast did a wonderful job. I didn't know if this could play well with the celebs in it, but they all had a great.

I absolutely loved this movie. I stumbled on it on Lifetime today & could not bring myself to turn the channel to anything else. The casting of each actress and actor was clearly carefully considered because it was definitely on point. Whoopi Goldberg showed that she can still bring a cast together as the main character. This isn't your typical "Lifetime fluff movie" with no strong acting & flip-floppy characters. It's also not like the majority of African American movies out today that so closed mimic Tyler Perry's creations. And although I love Tyler Perry, it was good to watch something outside of the "new norm" for these types of movies. It still has a "feel good" overall theme, primarily achieved through the ending. But, it is based on a novel written in 2001 by the phenomenal Terry McMillan. I, for one, was happy to see it come alive in a movie that flowed so closely with the book's original theme. If you choose to watch this movie (which you absolutely should), all I will say is to pay attention to each character throughout it & then stick around to watch the ending. Have you seen the 90s movie "Soulfood"? If so, that's how you will feel at this end of this one. Loved it!

Most Lifetime movies are generally the same, more or less. After countless movies this company has produced about suicide, anorexia and alcohol, A Day Late and A Dollar Short was finally something a little different. Viola (Whoopi Goldberg) is an elderly woman with attitude who has quite the dysfunctional family, whom she blames for her chronic asthma until one day an attack puts her in the hospital for several days. When her doctor warns her that she will be lucky to live more than another year or so, she makes it her goal to repair her broken family. I'm not saying it was perfect, I mean come on, it's a Lifetime movie. But it had some decent acting and the most original plot for a Lifetime movie since "Stalking Laura" and "Lois Gibbs and the Love Canal". Definitely not bad, I recommend at least giving it a chance.
