Holiday Fun and Female Bonding
Although Chad Quinn did a great job on the script about two feuding friends, co-leads Raven Goodwin and Dominique Perry rather hilariously fleshed the characters out.
Although allegedly feuding for the attention of the same man, it didn't really feel like that. And it didn't feel as if the script truly pit the women against each other dynasty style which made the film all the more enjoyable.
What came across was the tight bond between the two characters with surprisingly humorous / realistic punches at what it means to be single.
Although the production budget regarding filming locations were restricted to the church and the main character's houses, the actors didn't stint on their talents.
I'd rather have a production with a limited budget but great acting, strong script and strong directing, then a huge budget with painfully awkward acting, unnatural pauses and a script portraying the main characters as superficial one-dimensional holiday stereotypes.
Having Janet Hubert was a huge bonus.
Overall, this was just super funny. Yes, it mentions Church culture, for the anti-religious, but more in the vein of church politicking, which the script simultaneously mocks.
This was super fun, super realistic and super accessible. Do take a holiday chance on it.
