Simply A Masterpiece

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Disapointment

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Well done about a subject that needs to addressed more. But if they were all on Dr. Phil I imagine the good doctor would point out to Halles's character that she seemed to want her son back as much if not more so, for herself and her own healing.

I find it interesting that so many reviewers mistakingly describe the Lang character as the "foster parent"-she actually adopts him years before the birth mom returns for him. From a legal/social work perspective, this movie is in outer space. Which may be great for melodrama, but does a disservice to the thousand of children in this country who are available for adoption and languishing in foster care. The film is irresponsible, because it reinforces common misperceptions about adoption and encourages the deepest fears of those who might consider adopting. Every state has a statute of limitations for appealing termination of parental rights prior to adoption. Birth parents cannot return to the scene years after an adoption has been finalized to contest the validity of the termination of their parental rights. The race-based position of the bio mom's lawyer, whatever its merits from a moral perspective, would never make it into court. There is federal law against this. As other reviewers have noted, foster parenting is a different story and there is typically a strong push in favor of reunification with the biological parent before rights are terminated.

Firstly this movie could see like a boring drama but it's not. Why ? Because it involves you. The subject is very good and acting is very realistic and impressive especially the white mother's.You can see and understand the love between a mother and son in this movie. ALLAH (The God) created a very powerful instinct inside mothers' hearts. I saw this instinct in this movie so I really liked and affected me much.This movie can make you cry, don't go after fake love with selfish people, love is very near of you : devoted and faithful mothers of us and their love to children but never forget only the true love is for and from ALLAH.

I've seen this movie on BET a few times and I like it.But...How could the baby seem and look ok when it's older, later on in the movie we see him at his "other mother's" house and he seems fine.His birth mother, Halle Barry, was a crack addict then he should have had something wrong with him. And how could his "other mother" conincidentally call the baby Isahiah?There wasn't a nametag or nothing to know what the baby's name is so she just SOMEHOW knew the baby's name...I'm just a nitpicker...I reccommend this even though most people give it bad reviews...
