Great Play! 
2008-08-25
I read the book and loved it so I decided to get the play. Although the play is nothing like the book, I think the play was very interesting. I suggest that anyone who loves the book should buy the play.
What the CRAP!?!

A true fan of this book will HATE this movie/play as much as I did. It is true to the book by character names and few plot lines ONLY. The play was a MESS! And I am an ERIC JEROME DICKEY FAN! Why the crap would he sign off on this tragedy of a interpretation of his work??? Anyone who even remotely enjoyed the novel will detest this play as much as I did.

I'M A SUCKER FOR THESE STAGE PLAYS (WHEN THEY ARE GOOD). WATCHING LEON ANYTIME IS REAL GOOD. STORYLINE WAS GOOD AND SO WAS THE ACTING.

I really enjoyed this play. It was full of great chemistry, and definitely funny. (Chiquita girl was crazy!!) The characters were a pleasure to watch, and it got straight to the point unlike like most blk plays ..lmao! On top of that, there wasn't signing every damn 5 minutes which kept my focus.. hallelujah!! anyways.. whether you are single preparing yourself for marriage, or married already.. This is a must Watch.. Happy Viewing
Thoroughly enjoyed the this play!! 2008-01-11
It is obvious that the producers took the time to select quality actors. The cast brought the book to life. I can watch this play again.
Loved the book? 2007-12-26
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, revenge, 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).
Pretty Good

I read the book that this stage play is based on in about 48 hours it was so good, the play wasn't quite as exciting but still good. Leon, as usual plays his role flawlessly. I'd recommend this one if you are into stage plays.
It's tough...Friends can be lovers 2007-09-26
Excellent show. When I purchased this item, I thought it was a movie, but it turned out to be a stage play setting, which was also perfectly fine. I just love Leon and Monica. The show is great and I would definitely suggest buying it. So much so, that at the end, it provides the writers/directors website and I actually purchased tickets to their play that was currently in town. This was a wise purchase.... I can always find what I need from Amazon. Keep up the good work....
A Pleasure

I enjoyed this play. For the first time this play was really professionally done, unlike a lot of other African-American plays.
The characters worked really while together. Sister Cantoloupe and Lavell were hilarious and Leon shocked me with his singing.

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.
