While Zenobia is still looking for a man, Victoria is married to a man who doesn't want children.

Absolutely Fantastic
I hate to have to review this simply because of injustice but I do. I don't think I've reviewed any other films but this trend of how amazing black films get low ratings is truly unfortunate. This is a smart funny film. The low budget made more of the focus on the each cast member and had a nice vibe. I am white and often see really solid black movies with low scores on IMDb, and it's too bad because I feel if the rating were better and more people watched these movies then more of them would be made.Kevin Hart is always hilarious and several of the actresses here were great as well. The story was touching. At times things were over the top but they didn't linger, so it's fine and light.
This is kinda like a low budget version of Think Like a Man. Maybe not as funny or polished but this is one of the better executed low budget black films I have seen to date. While most Black straight to DVD/TV movies suffer from poor production quality and bad acting, this one was surprisingly well made. Kevin Hart was not as over the top as he was in Think Like a Man but he still was very funny. All round good acting but I'd say my biggest problem is the chemistry of the "four friends". I can't put my finger on it but it just didn't feel believable that these four were best buddies. I'm shocked nobody tried to market this one better as a theatrical release. I never even heard of this movie until I was digging through IMDb for movies I haven't seen. If you are a fan of the genre is should definitely be on your to see list.
The only reason I decided to watch the movie is because it had a cast of credible actors. It had a pretty good story line and I laughed more than I expected during the movie. Kevin Hart is hilarious always and Epps was funny too. The only disappointing part is that I think the movie could of been so much better if it had a bigger budget for production. Storyline was OK but the comedy made it not a big issue for me. This was by far a better movie than Jumping The Broom with less than half the budget. The wife and I enjoyed this movie and would recommend to folks looking to stay in and watch a movie on a Friday or Saturday night.
I came across this film at the Washington DC Independent Film Festival and knew nothing of the director. I was expecting a typical urban comedy in the style of "Soul Plane" or "Booty Call", and was happily surprised that it was more intelligent and well crafted. It that respect, it reminded me more of "Soul Food". The main characters in "35 and Ticking" are well developed and believable. The humor kept me laughing for most of the film. It avoids the raunchy quality of other recent comedies.On the downside, the ending wraps up a little too neatly for my tastes. Director Russ Parr could have left some details for the audience to fill in, rather than fixing every loose end.
