This is an involving, sympathetic film unafraid to wear its sizable heart on its sleeve. Go to Full Review

No thought goes unsaid in this flick, which leaves little room for layers or depth. Another major edit could fix a lot of the film's problems but it will never be truly great... Go to Full Review

03/06/2016 one boring long slow chick flick disguised as a football movie See more 08/06/2013 Lance Gross turns in a steady performance as a NFL player whose career is on very shaky turf. As he comes to terms with what life after football means, it's clear he has some growing up to do. Enter Faith, the old high school sweet heart he once let slip away. Gross and leading lady Nicole Beharie enjoy a lovely chemistry, and neither of them veers into melodrama as they navigate the tripwires involved in dating a newly single mom. Vanessa Bell Calloway plays what could have been a cookie-cuttter 50-something, out-to-live-her-life mom of the protagonist, but she brings depth to a family that's just dysfunctional enough to relate to and loving enough to pull together. This movie makes the point that sometimes, yes, love can carry the day. And it does it with a whisper, not a shout. See more 02/14/2013 Did not like, was boring See more 02/03/2013 it was okay, not the greatest film I have ever seen, but just okay..<(I See more 01/06/2013 It's a great under the radar movie that really shows what can happen to a man once his professional sports career is over. The ending left it open for a number two. See more Read all reviews
