He's a semi-employed construction worker and she's a music teacher with ambitions for a singing career. But when they meet at her Brooklyn brownstone their socio-economic differences melt away--or do they? This is the question that drives this 112-minute HBO movie based on Terry McMillan's best-selling novel. Zora wears fabulous clothes, decorates her hardwood-floored apartment with unusual furniture, and dines with her girlfriends at chichi restaurants, while Franklin can't even make regular child-support payments to his estranged wife. She's college educated; he doesn't have his GED. Sanaa Lathan (Love and Basketball) gives Zora dignity and grace throughout the film, while Wesley Snipe's Franklin starts out with those qualities but eventually degenerates into sullenness. Director Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love and Basketball) starts out strong by making Brooklyn a third vibrant character and creating fun takes on the awkward events in every couple's early stages--meeting the friends, dining with the parents. But she loses her way a bit in the middle and seems to rush the end. With much of the transitional material of the book missing in the movie, female viewers may find the ending tough to swallow. The film is rated R for language, brief nudity (specifically of coproducer Snipes's rear quarters), and sexual content. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews for Disappearing Acts

Moral of the movie is what you settle for in the beginning.............
Moral of the movie is what you settle for in the beginning of a relationship is what your life will be. Truthfully both Sanaa & Wesley were guilty of concealing very important information that could have killed the relationship. This is a pretty good movie, check it out.Disappearing Acts

This is may favorite movie.
this movie is about a woman who made mistaks in her younger life and begin a newlife. she start off by moving in new house and finding a good job to support her(a teacher). also she is a singer on the side.she finds a man that is waxing her floors an asks him to help her move her stuff into the apartment.from that moment on she has fallen in love. so throughout the story she goes through drama with this man.she tries to get her singing career started and it some what goes through but fails.so she then has a baby but the cahrcter franklin which is the baby father loses his job an thats when things get worst. at the end they break and get back togeter on a game called scramble.Disappearing Acts

The movie is alright :(
I really thought I was going to enjoy this movie, because Sanaa Lathan is one of my favorite actresses, but I didn't. I kind of wish I just rented it, so I would be able to give it back. I didn't like the story line, mostly because I couldn't relate to it. For anyone who is interested in low life men, and a whole lot of drama (in relationships),....Disappearing Acts is for you.Disappearing Acts

Love !Love It
Wesley was so fine. i think I'm going to watch it again tonight.Disappearing Acts
