7/10
For the first half I wasn't feeling it but credit to the filmmakers because it's almost impossible to be not won over, if only in part, by the end of the movie. There's things I liked (namely the acting, especially by Mo'nique) and things I didn't like: the movie at times feels like a large-scale (no pun intended) after school special, and there are definitely some mawkish moments, not least the insipid dedication at the end. If the acting wasn't as good as it is, its flaws and inconsistencies would not be so easily overlooked, I think.
