In addition to the film's two extremely likable stars, the strong supporting cast features a who's who of rising African-American actors.
The movie still manages to unearth laughs, some of them pretty big, especially once Shanté's program is under way.
Women may appear a bit smarter here, but both sexes are portrayed as superficial and silly.
A likable, featherweight romantic comedy that hardly asks to be taken seriously, but its very triviality is, in some ways, quite significant.
The characters are so cartoonish, it's hard to care on any level -- except that it wastes such talented performers.
Ultimately neither freewheeling enough to work as a diverting entertainment nor barbed enough to strike home as any sort of social commentary.
Few recent movies have conceived their central female character more contemptuously -- a fanatic for a lifestyle that appears to have come from the bestselling "The Rules."
