Think Latifah has what it takes? It premieres on HBO May 16th.

    ...There are certainly two elements of Bessie that are going to grab headlines. One is a lengthy nude scene that takes place roughly two-thirds through the film. “People are really into my ? now,” Latifah says about the attention the scene has already garnered. “I mean, I always thought they were pretty cool,” she laughs.

    I see queen and monique getting emmy love for this. some really good performances.

    the continuity coulda been handled better. Some characters/scenes felt outa place...

    Other than that it was a good movie. Give it a 7.5/10

    Its a good movie,
    just wish it had a better ending..

    By the way Latifah was moving her hips in the sex scene with Mike Epps,
    you can tell she knows what she doing in the bedroom..

    Finally watched it. It was alright, nothing major.

    Am I the only one who kinda wanted Monique and Latifah to switch. Monique got better acting chops than I thought.
