Starring THEE Queen Latifah, Common, and Paula Patton, this romantic comedy is pleasant and charming, with some deep insights baked into the surface-level studio film. He welcomes back Alexandria Daniels (@filmnvinyl) to the podcast, and they talk about the Queen, her legacy, and what this movie means for her screen persona.
