Jurnee is my absolute favorite actress. I'm definitely checking this film out.

[@MFM230]

This is a fantastic movie! I did not recognize Jurnee until I read the credits. I saw Eve's Bayou when she played a little girl. She's grown now.

[@CandyCoated96]

Jurnee is so beautiful and a amazing actor, imo. 💝💗

[@MFM230]

Did you see Eve's Bayou? She was wonderful in that. Go to the library and take out the video. I did not recognize her in the movie, but you never forget a name like that after seeing her as a child actress.

@@MFM230 Yes. I seen it as a little girl, it use to freak me out. Lol. She has been a actress forever.

💡 MARTIN REBOOT: She should be Gina’s high school days before meeting Martin or Cole’s love interest instead of Big Shirley as Gina’s lil sister.
