TUBI ORIGINAL: Dress for Success (2023)

Directed by Erskine Forde and written by Eliza Hayes Maher (Deadly DILF) and Tiffany Yarde, this is the story of Caribbean cousins Fabienne Larke (Mishael Morgan) and Mirlande Holder (Andrea Lewis) who have decided to start a clothing company together. Fabienne is also a lawyer for a company that is trying to break a strike led by Zayn (Daniel Malik), a fiery union leader. What she doesn’t know is that she was only picked for this role because she’s a woman of color with a mother who was a factory worker. Can the cousins start their business and make it work when they are so unalike now — Fabienne being shy and devoted to work and Mirlande being live on social all the time and floating through her existence — or will things fail?

A lot of this movie is expected but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t entertaining. Actually, the fighting between the cousins felt authentic. I also liked that the movie didn’t go down the everyday route of having Fabienne and Zayn fall in love. There are some good messages about family, sticking with what you believe in and giving to others, as the cousins eventually create a company that gives clothing to young people who can’t afford interview clothes. Another fun Tubi movie!
