Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Sanaa Lathan and Wesley Snipes give this movie all the energy it needs. It's a story of love at first sight, love with problems and a man with a big ego. In other words: this movie is true to life!. I enjoyed the movie and I will own it on DVD, it's a good buy. It's too bad that is was an HBO movie, because it could have done well at the box office.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this may be the best love story besides love and basketball
Review: sanna lathon does it again. she has a nack for picking the best roles and i guess going with the director from love and basketball and the writer of waiting to exhale wasnt such a bad choice. how stella got her groove back was a major flop so they went by way of hbo to bring out the love story of disappearing acts THIS MOVIE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE MOVIES AND WOULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER ONE ..FOR THE TIME IT WAS OUT.. this is a love story of two people who fall in and out of love, for the whole movie you want them to be together so bad but wesley messes up so bad she has to move on..until the end when he comes to see his child and they play scabble because she could never beat him HMMM CANT TELL YOU ALL THE STORY DUH..GO GET THIS DVD ITS HOT ..

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dissappointing!
Review: This book had wonderful potential. The story line was real but, the actual development of characters, plot, etc. was weak. This book dealt with the challenges, black females face due to the absence of a strong black man. The title of the book actually revealed the outcome. Franklin disappeared, which is typical of the black men today. They make babies...and don't even stick around to raise the baby! Better luck next time...maybe the sequel to this book could be..."Sticking Around"!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Act Won't Be Disappearing From My Collection.
Review: This movie is Truly a heartfelt classic..
The Best Movie I've Seen Snipes In (NO DOUBT)...
Ms.Lathan is a natural in this movie...
I must admit that during the opening credits,,it was strange to see the Twin Towers(GOD BLESS) of NY in a truck's side view mirror just as the title of the movie came accross the screen..
I Loved This Film..
The Best Movie I've Seen in a while..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Book to Movie
Review: This movie was excellent but flopped if you're judging it based on how true to the book it is. The movie outlines the general ideas expressed in the book. Of course a movie could never duplicate the preciseness included in a book but the necessary events in the book are in the movie.

Sanaa gives a stunning performance as Zora, an independant woman with ambition and a craving for some masculinity in her world. Wesley is Franklin, a man with a whole lotta ego, real-life problems and a weakness for beautiful women. Both Sanaa and Wesley are excellent in their roles. They give life to these Terry McMillan characters.

Perhaps the greatest gift this movie gives us is the possibility that you probably know a few Zora's and a few Franklin's! And knowing that allows one to connect with the absolute reality of the film. Get it! I applaud HBO for bringing this movie to the screen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great romance
Review: this was one of the best of it's genre. i cried because i actually felt for these charectors. it is seriously sad and realistic.wesley snipes can act and shows it in this movie. highly reccomended if you need a movie to watch with your girl and you want to score points with her.
