I watched this today against my better judgement. I try to steer clear of racially charged or focused entertainment, I just don't find it to be too entertaining. That said it was a cute movie despite the mixed bag of social hot buttons they try to cram in one movie. CJ and Sebastian were perfectly adorable characters. Sebastian stayed true to his character as a scientist and was very endearing. CJ the presumed alpha in the duo kept flipping back and forth between child genius and hood rat. Calvin's character is a picture perfect idea of how I would want my big brother to be. I read dozens of the reviews and only a few hinted at what I disliked the most about the movie and the feeling it left me with. Hardly anyone commented that all of CJ's troubles were the result of her actions. She broke the deal to not change anything to be small and petty and get back at her ex. This and the inability to accept the consequences of her actions led to both Calvin's and Sebastian's deaths. A lot was said about the non-ending, it said a lot to me. If people don't change their actions, their hearts, and their minds they will always continue to get what they have always gotten. CJ had an opportunity to change her life and the world, but threw it away to be small and petty for 15 seconds. That one choice cost her everything. Would have been a cute movie if it wasn't filled with so much social negative energy.
