I just finished the book and I'm sorry, but as much as I love Queen Latifah, I just don't see her as the "queen bee" of the Pink house in 1964 South Carolina. Did the film makers not read the book. And Alicia Keys...WTF...there's no way she can play one of Boatwright sisters...too young, too skinny, too unrealistic. I've heard of artistic freedom, but come on. I don't understand why you the film makers couldn't stay true to the characters. Oh well, that's Hollywood.
