Was hoping from the BET tv channel description that it would be like Working girl or Baby Boom somewhat based on the opening part of it. It was like pulling teeth to watch parts of it. A lot of the lingo I found hard to comprehend and some of the music I'm just not used to. I just felt the "substance" parts I was craving for was lacking and that a lot of the rest of it was "fluff". I guess it was just not my "cup of tea" as some say. I'm not good at writing reviews so just use your own judgment. I like that she got "every girl's wish"<for the most part - at the end and I was really happy that she helped someone in their business to be a success so those two things were positive for me. Like I said I'm not good at writing reviews so I guess that's all I have to say.

Worst movie ever!
rafika24 August 2020
OK. I was set for a Hallmark-style snoozefest, but this was even worse. OMG! The acting was terrible, the settings were nondescript the direction was undisciplined, and the story line was ridiculous. I can't imagine whoever wrote this wasn't embarassed to see it on screen. I had the hardest time following the story to the end with all the cliches and stereotypes throughout. The pacing of this film was off from beginning to end. For example, there is an unexplained six-month gap in the story that makes no sense whatsoever. I felt no attraction, chemistry or energy between any of these actors and just couldn't wait until it was over and I didn't have to hear that shrill, screechy voice of the lead any longer. Do not waste your time watching this film!
Felt like I was watching a Twlight episode.

The beginning really confused me because everything happened too fast.

What is this movie Back to the Goode Life about?:
It's about Penny Proud getting cursed where everything around her falls apart and fells out of order. She must manage and find away to survive.
Genre:
Motivational, Drama
duration:
A good slow hour.
The Story and the production overview:
The film confused me at the beginning. I kept at it and figured out what was going on.
It's a movie about understanding, patience and survival. Things aren't going to go your way, and you must get up and fight and deal with various situations.
The acting is meh, but when you focus on the story and evolution of the characters, the movie is quite interesting.
Not a go-to movie, but it's still a fine movie. Sometimes you need a break from violent movies.
Moral:
Never give up and have an understanding
Overall a good movie for what it is.
Rating:
Okay
Final Words:
Penny!!!

Idk if it's the writing, directing or acting but this is like somebody filmed each character all the way through and patched it together at the end. No chemistry, bad timing, silly stereotypes, just strange. That said, Kyla is good as could be expected with her talent, the writing and editing, etc. Lahmad (sp?) is good in his small part. Disappointed but in disbelief that it's this bad, so I'll probably finish it. Won't say not to watch it, just do so with a huge serving of patience and low expectations.
painful to watch

Overall this movie was horrible, the acting was terrible and frankly they wasted money on this movie. it was worse than a lifetime movie, iv'e seen better productions put on by a school film class. if i could give it zero stars i would, the best actor in this movie was the dog..and sadly the dog alone. These actors simply cant buy their talent and should maybe invest in a real job they don't suck at or a good acting coach. The plot sucked, the acting sucked, it wasn't even funny.. if your gonna be bad at acting at least make it funny. when i watch a movie i want to be pulled into it as if i'm in the movie myself...this did not reach the bare minimum expectations. would not recommend unless you love cheaply horribly made movies.
Very Good!
