Trivia:
The closing duet "Love is All That Matters" was expected to be released as a single but has only ever appeared as a Diana Ross solo track on her album "Everyday is a New Day". more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Kayla is singing the club, Olivia walks in and Kayla covers her mouth but the voice in the song keeps going. So, obviously it was pre-recorded and she was lip-syncing. more
Quotes:
Kayla Harris: Don't start on Ric because you don't even know him.
Olivia King: I've known a lot of Rics. *You* don't know him.
Kayla Harris: Yeah. About a week less than I've known you.

Too Much Weeping for Me, 25 July 2000
7/10
Author: Devans00 from Silicon Valley, CA

Overall, it was a well told story. True, it's been done before (what story hasn't), but I still liked this spin on it. As Diana Ross wanted, we could all see she still looks wonderful, even though she has 5 grown kids. I had to laugh at the artfully placed ferns in the shower scene, though. The biggest negative was that Brandy was crying her eyes out every other scene. I felt like it detracted from the story by the end of the movie.
