i enjoy this movie quite a lot . i have always be a fan of whoopi goldberg and this movie only emphasize it . she portray a housewife in an african american family which be move up the social chain due to the husband ( danny glover ) success a an attorney . she move to an all white neighborhood where the people be friendly and yet a little awkward toward her . the various event that arise during the course of the movie make for some laugh but mostly appeal to the other emotion . this movie be not so much a comedy a a drama . i give it a strong positive . i highly recommend you catch it on tv or rent it soon .
