The Weekend

This is fresh take on a rom com. The setting is different. The storyline is unusual. The lead actress Sasheer is funny. The directiing wag good. The soundtrack was wonderful. It was not your typical "black rom com". Ther is no hip hop in thissi movie. This should be a classic I laughed the whole way. I can't wait for the director to make another one.

The acting was awesome! I loved the funny parts and the overall concept was good & interesting. If you know anything about a break-up, then you will understand and relate to this movie. Nice twist, turning something normally bad into a good ending.

This movie just didn't get all the way there. It rattled on at times and then didn't go there enough during other times. You were kind of left hanging with the characters in terms of their relationships. I suppose Zadie ended up with Aubrey. Not sure tho...it's implied, but again just kinda hanging there.

My name is Bruce Davis. I am an African American Actor and I just want to say Thank you Stela for giving us something different in African American film. This is what I've been waiting for! Bravo!!! Thanks again

The leading actress indeed light up this story. She's funny but in a very natural way, one of the few can do that.

Premise is implausible. Everything after the first 10 minutes is awkward and borders on a train wreck. Why would anyone who is jilted want to take a road trip with the person who took their place? "Man, that is amazing and pathetic. It kinda turns me on," is a line in the film and pretty much describes the whole film. It's a college project that means well, but just doesn't execute except for those who are morbidly curious. I qualify for this. Writer should write some more and actors are great and keep working. Blaming this on whomever decided to greenlight and pay for it. Movie is just bad.

Loved this so much. The lead comedian is like a box of hidden razor blades. She was amazing in the role. Hard to watch at times, refreshingly honest. Effervescent. Such a delight the whole way through. I'm keeping my eye on her.

Yhaha yhaa yhaa not really, this film doesn't cut it at all. The characters did their part but the script is dull.

There comedy was well written and crafty. The acting was definitely on par. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I just didn't find it funny. Main female lead was rude and immature. Dewanda Wise was gorgeous and skillful as always, rounding out her character as best she could with a flat script. B-story about the parents' separation didn't fly. It was too long and yet, so little happened.
