What do you all think of this movie? How well do you think that Queen Latifah did?


certainly some powerful statements in this movie....and the music is good!

Worthless.
Queen L was ... passable, but the story handling, cinematography, acting, script an so on was same old same old. You´ve seen it many times before, just different titles.
Sorry to be negative, but you asked for opinions.

IMHO, the performance scenes were entertaining, but not spectacular. As a biography, I thought it was more a collection of episodes than a coherent narrative. When it was over, I felt like I learned about some things that maybe happened in her life, but I did not feel like I understood why she was the way she was, or what shaped her personality.

Just my two cents.
