Sorry, did I miss something? This would've been way better as a 1 hour short..

The entire movie takes place over 96 hours pretty much, and you mean to tell me that he was being introduced to this girl's friends and entire family without even knowing her for 48 hours? Then they're off romanticizing as if they've been in love for months?? This movie had too many scenes that jumped the gun and lacked depth (like Mike beating some guy at a party to a pulp for ??, hitting on Cristina?), I thought that guy was gonna come back for revenge and shoot one of them or something, but nothing happened at all. And then I thought there was going to be a serious rift with Mike and his best friend after they got into an argument while playing basketball, but then they were best friends again in the next scene?

Overall I walked away from this movie holding nothing. It wasn't the actor's faults tho, they all did a pretty good job, it was just a ridiculous script. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is cuz I like Nick Cannon and Melanie Diaz is a cutie
