I loved this movie so much because I too have two children and am a single parent that is going to college and still tring to have time for my children...I think that Nita dealt with the pressure and stress she was going through very well. If I knew where to buy it, I would most definitely buy it.

Great movie. The critics are cracked!
Mesha E. gave it a 10:
This movie was off the meter! If you didn't have an understanding of British-Jamaican culture you learned from Anita. I enjoyed it because it it had personal ties to the real life situations of single mothers wanting to pursue their dreams in all cultures. The music kept me excited throughout the movie. I adored the clash at the end with Anita and Ceasar the best. The costumes were dynamic and the drama with the best friends caused a lot of people to think about their past experiences. I was happy to see that friends could overcome their issues. Babymother is definitely a "First Class" movie! I give it two high-fives!!!

I loved this music. It was refreshing to see the authenticity of the reggae culture displayed so well. The performers and musisal numbers were tops!
