I was blown away by the characters Kendra and Ben in Real Love and looked forward to what would happen in their lives, therefore I watched this movie with a lot of anticipation.

In terms of quality, it was pretty good and fairly believable however to be fair, it was not as good as the Real Love storyline. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoyed it pretty much although the outcome was a bit too predictable. The two movies though does show how choices can affect one's life and there was more than enough of this that is very comparable to real life situations. Loved the fact that there was a wholesome ending and both the main characters continued with good quality acting. To Mary J Blige...you've set the bar pretty high...very impressive! I look forward to more of this.

I was so happy when I found there was a sequel to Real Love. Normally sequeals do not do it for me but this one took me by surprise. The chemsitry of Ben and Kendra is just as strong as it was in the last. The kind of chemistry you only feel with few people in the world. Even though their lives took a ton of twist and turns the love never died. We all pray for that kind of love. And I like that it was not a cookie cutter storyline and instead the cast faced real life situations and I love that they were not struggling but instead all successful in their own right. It puts me in the mind of Love Jones. A new love story added to my collection.

I don't think I would have liked this movie as much had I not seen part one, Mary J Blige's Real Love. Watching the story develop and the characters grow, made part two more interesting. Ok. I'll admit it. I fell in love with Ben (Da'Vinchi) and Kendra ( Ajiona Alexis) in part one of the story(Real Love). So, in part two when Ben showed up at Terry's fundraiser, I was excited. There was that on screen chemistry. They look like they belong together. I started rooting for him and Kendra to get back together.

Strength of a Woman, part two of Ben and Kendra's story, starts fourteen years later. Kendra is a successful photographer married to a Neurologist. Who isn't around very much. Kendra is anxious to start a family She is now in her mid thirties. But Kendra's strength is tested, and once again she has to dig deep to regain control of her life. I would recommend watching Mary J Blige's Real Love first to get the full story.
