Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer Cover is a social-problem film without a solution. While not of the first rank, its inventory of Philadelphia's hot restaurants and cool sights is an occasion for civic pride. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 28, 2008 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Director Bill Duke aims for social awareness, but delivers second-rate melodrama instead. Feb 26, 2008 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter A perfect storm of movie badness. Feb 26, 2008 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide So overwrought that it quickly crosses the line into unintentionally funny and never recovers. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 22, 2008 Full Review Geoff Berkshire Metromix.com Entertaining in a way the filmmakers probably weren't intending. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 21, 2008 Full Review Chuck Wilson L.A. Weekly Duke appears to be aiming for a Tyler Perry-style mix of the taboo and the saintly, but his touch is so leaden that one ends up giggling, not weeping.
