Thoughts:

I had never heard of this, I was trying to watch the original and came across this.

First, I want to say that both Idina Menzel and Nia Long as amazing actresses, but they really fell flat in these roles.

Second, I wish they had stuck to the original script, they seemed to cut some of the middle stuff out which was great in the original. I love this movie, but this re-imagining felt off.

CAUTION; Spoiler Alert

None listed but the story line is the same as the original

Hilary & CC are lifelong friends after meeting at the Beach as children. CC is focused on her career and Hilary is focused on her school. At the end they end up divorced Hilary having heart problems. Once Hilary dies CC takes custody of her daughter.

The story is clearly much more than that, but you get the just
