I'm happy to hear that the movie did so well in its opening, eh! I was listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show promote it. It was nice to hear him talk so highly of it. THe TJM went to Atlanta and did one of their Sky Shows to promote the movie. I so wish that I'd been there with them, because it sounds like they were having lots of fun~Ha! I plan to see this movie, too. God bless the success of this movie and for those that it paves the way for.
