i actually worked on this movie
and i can tell you that the whole time we were there we were laughing at all the acting, the script which is very bad and that cordell moore guy was a jerk. i'm pretty sure you should till you get your oscar before you throw a bi tch fit. the director was a pasty little guy who apparently worked on mad about you but seeing as i wasn't a single mother in the late ninties i've never seen it.
if you're wondering if it's real, yes it is and yeah it takes itself pretty seriously but should you see it? if you can't stand laughing too hard at a comedy but want to laugh just a little bit at terrible filmmaking then yeah go see it.
p.s. the only good scene in the movie is when denise is getting the car in the garage and driving off. my friend greg stanford directed that but of course he gets no credit.
