Spotlight on Aunt Helen (Played By Annette James)

Annette came to an open audition call for Misunderstandings but there wasn't a role that fit her. Tamiko, who was there casting the day Annete auditioned and called Neeta that night and mentioned how good she and another actress (who also would be in the film). After this conversation Neeta had the character "Aunt Helen" created specifically for Annette.



"Annette was always on time, she knew her lines, and she was a joy to work with. She brought a mature element to the scenes she was in, yet she was able to protray the humor we wanted from her. I would love to work with her again. If we had more time, I would have written in more scenes for her," said Neeta Wooten, Casting Director and Executive Producer.


Annette, far right

Cast Members Sierra and Simone on set about to TEAR SOME STUFF UP!!! Image taken by Photo Rob


Sierra and Simone are the two daughters of Cast members Trisha and Lamont. They are cute on the outside but will terrorize your house!!! I think they tie up their babysitter in the film and kick her in the closet right??? LOL

Cast Member Joe doing his usual lazy thing and just sitting around being the only one NOT working... I think that is why Kim and Joe got a divorce right?
This is a shot from the actual film taken by Ruby Tull

Poker Anyone? Behind The Scenes of Misunderstandings The Film For The Poker Scene With The Guys

One of the funny scenes in the film is where Rasan goes over to his friend Jamal's house for their regular poker night. Execpt...its anything BUT regular. The guys clown him and Rasan grows even more confused about his situation and what he should do about Nicole, his girlfriend (so he thinks). Additionally, Sean is complaining about all of the smoke coming from the fancy cigars (Thanks Huggy). Special Thanks to Dave Sher owner of Stars-n-Bars Entertainment and the Stars-n-Bars Poker Series (www.SnBPoker.com & www.SnBVegasNights.com ) for the poker table and the cool dealer for the scene.

Here are some behind the scenes images preparing to film the scene
