first of all i want to say for the people who thought Sean combs was great in the movie. what movie were you watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!. first of all i want to say, the movie its self was very good.
also it send a very important message.
Oh yes the performances. i thought Sean combs establish himself as an serious actor i thought he gave an Emmy worthy performance. Rashad from the Cosby fame gave an very should add another Emmy to her name. the unrecognizable sanaa la than gives her best performance in her career, john stamos is know for bunch of TV movies was very funny but strong as usual. not to mention the little boy don't know his name but he was also good. i hope this movie comes out on DVD.
