The movie had potential to be great... but there wasn't enough character development or background info for one. I understand she was ashamed of her blackness (she touches on this in a couple sentences in the beginning), but what caused her to leave her kids behind? And why did the kids have to come back and terrorize the new family that was essentially on the side of the kids? Made no sense. What was really bogus is she ran off and left her other kids behind with the delivery driver. I don't know what else to say other than this movie was all over the place. A better ending would have been for the father NOT to be killed, and the new family abandoning the mother and establishing a tangible relationship with each other. One star rating.
