I read the series (Plus Size Diva & Who Ya Wit) before watching the movie. Big mistake for me because there were too many discrepancies and rushed scenes to save $$$.
I didn't mind a few changes
Like turning Roc modeling into art
Or the car wash becoming a full service station
BUT
I found myself arguing with the TV.
Des came off as too goofy and too slim. The book describes her as thick and sexy
Roc was sexy but I wasn't feeling the braids. In the book, his look was smoother/cleaner.
Unc was perfect. Hated him on and off screen
Monica. Too obvious that she was reading her lines posted on the props.
Just under Tubi expectations for me but...
I am waiting for part 2 to see how they pull it off.
