it's movies like these or similar why the reason I never got married.


1) wife or soon to be ex wife is a tease. I am not justifying but women like these wonder why men step out. I do not have time money or energy to waste, next please.

2) I do not care if I have been gone 3 months or a whole year no way in hell my daughter is going to be disrespectful to me.

3) I did not find this movies funny at all. I found it bad in taste and not appropriate for children. people often wonder were are children get ideas, that cause sour relationships. movies like this are a prime example.

Dorothy (Vanessa Williams) was a huge tease in this movie. Sure, Nate (Cedric the Entertainer) was a little controlling towards Dorothy, but she didn't have to embarrass him like she did at the pool. My mom agreed also. Then when he was trying to be a nice husband, she didn't even apologize. To me her character was childish.

Now, Nate wasn't innocent. He should have been understanding of Dorothy being a CPA. Women aren't really housewives anymore. Nate was a chauvanistic. He was controlling towards the kids, but he should have because his daughter wanted to dress like a ho, and his son wanted to be a ridiculous hip hop star, and had idiotic ideas.

Now this movie wasn't very funny, and the dialog was weak. I watch it if there is nothing else on

1. The wife was a tease, but only because she was irritated with his controlling ways. Which included her being on the trip to see his mom who didn't like her. But because he wanted things his way she obliged him, and had a little fun along the way. No harm, no foul.

2. Teenagers being disrespectful is a part of being a parent. You put them in check and move on. Like Nate did. Could've done better or more, but hey.
