"Twee."

An easy going take on Cosby-styled drama.

Kenneth Babyface Williams composes the music and executive produces, George Tillman Jr writes and directs this rather twee story of a family which goes to war on itself when Mama, the soul provider, dies. Will rich-bitch lawyer Vanessa Williams leave her husband? Does she leave her husband? Does she love her sisters? Will they sing another song?

Does anyone care?
