"I loved this movie. It touched me in a nice way that reminded me of the movie "Hav Plenty". This seemingly low keyed love story has a cast that will knock your socks off. Get ready for this...Renee' Goldsberry (The Jackson's: An American Dream), Terron Brooks (played Eddie Kendricks in The Temptations), Tico Wells (The Five Heartbeats), Chris Spencer (he has been all over the place), Rockmond Dunbar (Soul Food Series on Showtime), LisaRaye (The Players Club), Debbie Allen (from Houston and has done it all...acting/directing/choreography), Lou Myers (Different World) and Vanessa Bell Calloway (BET, Coming to America) bring this story to life. The characters are unforgettable.Nicole has a lightbulb moment in her relationship with Robbie. She realizes that his long term plans do not include her. She runs off to sort things out and wait for him to chase after her. Her roommate (LisaRaye) sublets her apartment to Brian (who is the adopted brother of Robbie and has been estranged from his family for several years). Nicole and Brian both have personal issues to deal with. In the midst of dealing with their own issues, they find love unexpectedly. Both of them are working at a club called Toomie's which adds flavor, some really nice music and a few laughs to the movie.This is a cute, charming, heart warming, feel good kind of movie. A treat awaits after the movie is over. The viewer gets to see the scenes that were scrapped, but were just as good as the ones that were included in the movie."

"So many films depict what is sick and twisted about our society's view on relationships, then along comes "All About You". A tale of true romance - love finding you when you least expect it. I found out about this movie from a friend who received it as a gift. She went on and on about how great the movie was and I just had to get it! I found the story to be realistic and the characters to be very genuine, just like your cousins 'nem. The leading lady, Renee Goldsberry was sweet and her suitor, Terron Brooks was just adorable. All of the supporting cast was magnificent - the brother/sister-in-law, roommate Lisa, co-workers (cute pair), bar owner Toomie, and even the howling and whistling pro baller (sexy a-- Rockmond). More film makers should explore the mysterious thing called love. This film gets it right on the money. To those asking about the soundtrack, check out the credits on the DVD. I ordered it directly from the company. I am so glad I did - the music is the icing on this delicious slice of life!"
All About Terron - Keep It Simple

"I have been a fan of Terron since I saw him portray Eddie Kendricks in 'The Temptations' movie. I thought he was a wonderful actor, dancer and soo darn fine! Well, I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised it was to hear HIM singing in this movie. You see, I didn't know that it was Terron's OWN voice he was lip-synching to on ALL (except one, 'Paradise') of The Temptations songs in the movie because he sounded so much like Eddie. He and Christian Payton (Paul Williams) are among the few that re-recorded the songs using their OWN voices. I hope by seeing this movie all of those 'Temptations' movie fanatics (like me) out there know that Terron IS not only a talented actor and dancer but a talented SINGER with an AWESOME voice and range. Oh yeah, Renee' Goldsberry is also an awesome songwriter and singer too as well as a very accomplished actress it seems. Lol...Love the movie but especially the music like 'Keep It Simple'. Go get it!"
