Talbert's portrayals of the trials of contemporary love have earned him numerous NAACP Awards, smash hits, and a place in hearts all across America. This filmed version of his play LOVE ON LAYAWAY features an all-star cast that includes vocalist Deborah Cox, who shines on nearly every track. The story centers on three couples living in a brownstone and attempting to navigate the vicissitudes of life, love, and spirituality. Ms. Willanetta (Cassi Davis) has been dating her beau Renzo (Buddy Lewis) for 12 years, but a religious experience has made her question their relationship. Meanwhile, Monique Graham (Cox) lives with her boyfriend, Anthony (Mel Jackson), but feels that he is making the bare minimum payments on their love affair. Finally, Epiphany (Joi Campbell) is faced with a difficult choice between her son, Man Man, and her new boyfriend, Reggie (Chico Bennymon). | | | Features: | |

Great Play, Must See!!Jul 06, 2006
By coolmomarp
This was a great play, Deborah Cox was wonderful, the singing of all the characters was unbelievable. The interaction between the male characters was hysterical. The character of Khalif added just the right amount of spice to the pot without being over the top. All in all a great play about the African American male-female relationship at all different age levels.

 This Was OkayJan 09, 2007
By Christian With A Pen
I was able to sit through the entire DVD, but it didn't move me the way Tyler's plays does. This play seems to be geared towards the more serious minded person and I love a good laugh.

"Mrs. G"
This was an awesome play and anyone who gave it less than 5 stars doesn't know what their talking about. The singing and acting were perfect. This is a play you have to buy.
