it was a great movie. it was surprising as to how the characters were connected. i appreciated how religion and how it plays into the DL lifestyle.

Cover is a new movie with some serious star power. from Vivica Fox, Mya, Patti LaBelle and Leon.It is produced by Bill Duke.This movie deals with a... ot of topics that we can all relate to.It is filled with a lot of " what if that were me moments" that really make you ponder things.Such has;1. If you knew your best friends husband was cheating, would you tell?2. What if you were the spouse being cheated on? Would you stay, leave?3. Do you believe that spouses who kill or harm cheating spouses should be convicted of lesser crimes?ex: instead of murder, it is considered a crime of passion?It is an enthralling movie, with more twists and turns than a roller coaster at Six Flags.You will never guess the ending.Their site lists the showings, check it out. http://www.myspace.com/coverthemovie Full Review

This is a weirdly schizophrenic movie, one that's light on the murder mystery and heavy on the sermonizing.Full Review

The sledgehammer message is clear: Best friends can help when you need a McMansion, but only God can help when your husband needs a man.Full Review

So overwrought that it quickly crosses the line into unintentionally funny and never recovers.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide

While this actor-filmmaker has delivered such worthy films as "A Rage in Harlem" and "Deep Cover" in the past, this misbegotten effort would be instantly forgettable if not for its potential as future camp classic.Full Review

Frank Scheck
The Hollywood Reporter

Featuring eyeball-rolling performances by Vivica A. Fox, Patti LaBelle, Clifton Davis and the singularly named Leon, Cover would be a candidate for the year's most unintentionally funny movie so far - if it weren't also the most homophobic.Full Review
