Huh. Yeah, I wouldn't think that I would have watched these movies either. But not only did I watch them - I enjoyed them. Both of them.
Don't get me wrong, both had plot flaws and were a bit hokey at times, but there are certainly worse movies out there right now, and the fact of the matter is, Queen Latifah is one of the most watchable stars in Hollyweird right now. Her performances come with absolutely no pretension, and she is so likable, when she's on the screen, it's almost impossible to look away.
And both of these movies are... sweet. And usually I wouldn't use that word as a compliment, but in today's world of "torture porn" movies like Captivity and Hostel 2, it's nice to see a movie that's, well, nice.
The one thing I can't figure out is why Halle Berry has an Oscar and Queen doesn't. I mean, seriously? The performance that won her that award wasn't that good, and even if it was, it should have been revoked after Catwoman. But mark my words... she'll get that Oscar, even if it takes of few more years of making safe movies.
