I loved this movie. I just saw it tonight on BET. First of all, Omar Epps is an excellent actor. Second of all, Im surprised I watched it all the way through, but the movie was VERY good. It definitely tugs at the heart's strings!

I love this movie! It's very serious and deals with issues that a number of people deal with on a daily basis. Just because people make a mistake doesn't mean that they don't deserve a second chance!
