That was an excellent one.
One of the best films i have seen
I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

View MoreI liked season 1 and part of season 2 a little better. Let me just give some bits and parts of the show that made it lose a lot of cool points.Joan's behavior was completely rotten towards William when they returned from New York, and she was a bit immature, trying to play games, setting him up with both Monica and the other girl. Those that watched the show avidly saw her conduct towards him.She was actually jealous of Toni when Toni was about to get married. What was that all about? I thought they were true friends. She took out her anger on Ellis, and later cheated on him and lied to him. She was an extremely stink girlfriend. A lying, cheating, jealous, immature fool. Ellis was never that great anyway. Their union, as many other unions on this show, should have never happened.Maya's conduct was similar, especially when she was William's assistant, and even after she was rightly fired. The episode where Reverend Al Sharpton guest starred made me cuss. William asked her to do one thing, she did something else, and made a spectacle of herself in front of the Reverend. She failed to remember that she was the one who was rude and inefficient, and tried to make William out to be the bad guy. She was an ingrate to both William and Joan. The whole ghetto, sassy act was not cute and not cool. She always felt she could do what she wanted when she wanted where she wanted.She also wanted to make Darnell miserable after they broke up, calling him over to pick fights with him Wasn't she the one who cheated? Her friend also acted like a total jerk towards the father of her own children when he came to pick up the kids.Did Lynn say she wanted to burn down Joan's house after she was kicked out? Did she also want to do the same after Toni fired her as her assistant at her new real estate office? That was supposed to be funny? Don't even get me started on Toni Chlamydia Childs and Monica the Control Freak.There is so little respect for one another that I sometimes question the friendships. The writer of this show is another writer I wish I could talk to face to face. If there is anything that I am not understanding, then she can show me. I want to go through episode by episode and drill her.
View MoreWhen this show first came out it was considered the Sex and the City for the black folk, and while the premises of the show is smiler (withe the four female friends looking for love career and everything else in between) it's rather different as well.it's incredibly witty in that Frasier type way and that probably has to do with Kelsy Grammar producing the show, and while they not afraid to talk about sex or in the case of Joan the lack there for every episode is not contaminated with naked torsos all over.this show does not give the illusion that as a writer for a weekly column you can afford to stay in the heart of Manhatton (i come from South Africa and i know that is expensive) and afford Jimmy Choo's and Blonicks please, these women work hard to look as good as they do, and in Joan's case you might even make yourself broke trying to maintain the look.This show defiantly found a way to touch on all subjects, broken homes (with out being stereotypical because daddy doesn't always have to beat mommy or be an alcoholic for the home to break up) in the case of Maya and her husband.you have the Nimphomaniac friend who refuses to stop studding and get a job in the case of Lynn.the up and coming Legal Aid in the form of Maya the definite girls girl in the form of Toni Childs so this show def has something for us all....Defnaitly something for the ladies but Gentlemen you more then welcome to join the fun....
View MoreThis is the show that taught me to look at TV shows for what they are: writers' impressions of what life "somewhere" for "someone" is like. No, this show doesn't portray all of my personal experiences as a Black woman, but it also doesn't portray what I think my life is going to be like as an attorney, either. If it's funny, then it's funny - and 'Girlfriends' is funny. Just because the stars are Black doesn't mean that it is necessarily there to represent the "Black" experience. Nor does it have to. No more double standard for me. I recommend this show to everyone - not just Black women.
View MoreAs a black woman, I am completely satisfied with girlfriends because it is not at all the typical 'African American' show. Most of these shows that are produced by white producers end up being stereotypical against the black race. Kelsey Grammar does a great job at excluding the typical view of black women by displaying women of success and genuineness. Whatever Kelsey Grammar's strategy or inspiration was, it worked out well. I can easily identify with Joan, Maya, Lynn and Toni. They have a genuine bond with each other and they all seem strong and intelligent. All of the previous comments are shallow and senseless. I love this show!
