What happens when friends cross the line and become lovers? Lies fly, emotions erupt, and the stage is set for a totally uncensored, hilarious, and outrageously entertaining adventure in seduction, betrayal, heartbreak, re... more »venge, and oh-so-sweet true love. Shelby Daniels and her best friend Debra Mitchell have just gotten off the sex-before-marriage merry-go-round with men. Each has gone looking for love, found love, lost love, and at this point, sworn off men forever-- until Debra meets Leonard DuBois, an aspiring stand-up comedian who tries to laugh his way into her heart. But the laughter stops when he is forced to confront some hurdles of his own. Debra has devoted her mind, body, heart and soul to God, so if he wants to ride with her, he'll have to produce the ring. In the meantime, feisty, nosy, attitude-packing flight attendant Shelby keeps intervening in Debra's business. Needing someone to run interference and get rid of Shelby, Leonard calls on his best buddy, Tyrel, a sexy and charming computer software designer unable to design the perfect woman. On the rebound, Shelby keeps her heart locked away, but when Tyrel finds the key, the attraction is instant and so are the consequences. Their relationship moves at warp speed, leaving Shelby confronting a decision that could turn her whole life around and break both of their hearts. As a result, friendships fall by the wayside, jealousy come into play, and sisterhood is torn apart. It takes tragedy on a grand scale to reunite lovers destined for each other and teach both couples that friendship is perhaps the most valuable gift they've been given in this hilarious tale of friendship, love, and faith that speaks directly to the heart. Based on the best-selling novel by Eric Jerome Dickey (EJD).« less

"I loved this book so I was a bit wary to see this - however I was pleasantly surprised. As other reviews have mentioned the cast and the chemistry was excellent- they stayed true to the book and it did not give off the "low budget vibe". All in all- an excellent choice and a must see/ have."
Awesome cast!

"The chemistry between these actors was great! There were parts that made you laugh and made you cry, but you felt all of the joy and pain the characters allowed you to see! I would recommend this play for anyone who enjoys seeing Tyler Perry or David Talbert. It is not low budget and was filmed in a way that makes you feel like you are right there in the theater! I applaud the realistic nature of the script and reaction of the actors!"

"I really enjoyed this play. I have not stop watching it since I purchased it. The play had all the qualities I look for in a well developed production. The acting was great as well as the very funny comedy and the superb singing. The production of the play was of the highest quality and I strongly recommend purchasing this dvd. I am looking forward to purchasing more African American plays with the same degree of excellence as this one."
Do you see yourself in this relationship?
