Nice effects though.
Brilliant and touching
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The story is poignant, funny and unbearably sad. I liked it. I really liked it. Nick Anderson is confused about more than his sexuality, far more. There are times of joy and times of sadness. It contains lots of humor and comedic elements that make you smile and laugh through-out the film. The coming of age well is explored here by examining the fates and troubles of a handful of individuals and their interaction with one another. The theme of acceptance runs through the whole movie. If you are cynical, this is not for you. If you like to laugh and cry and all that good stuff you'll love this movie. It is well written, directed, and acted, especially by Michael Warren and Joyce Guy. Not what I had expected, and I was not disappointed. This was a very, very pleasant surprise.
I really liked this movie. I liked everything about it. Great cast. Good acting. Good music. I liked the story and how it played out. Thought it was going to be less of a quality film than it was. So many independents rely on lack of budget to tell and film a story well. This one didn't. It was great to see a film with good African American leads playing something other than what is stereotypically played. While I have seen a strong African American family on television (The Cosby Show), I don't think I have ever seen an African American family portrayed as strongly on film. I know that is a strong statement but none come to mind. The problems of this family could have been the problems of any family regardless of their ethnicity and that, for me, was refreshingly rare. It was great seeing Michael Warren and Joyce Guy as the parents and seeing the family dynamic between them and their son and daughter portrayed so honestly. Best thing in the movie: Michael Warren.
like i have said before , i give the guy props for getting the film made , but he should of checked his EGO at the door when casting. He is so bad i almost thought his acting was some sort of punchline in the movie , till after a few minutes and i realized , he cannot act! One facial expression in every scene , two tone's of voice one for sad and one for everything else! The photography is not great , not even good , it is bad! There is one scene where it is supposed to be night time and there is a shadow on the floor from the sun coming through the window! He needs to do less acting and maybe take some film classes and learn how to be a director , before , just doing it! If he did take some classes he would learn to control all light when filming by blocking out the windows! Man , that is basic stuff!
I happened to catch the premiere of this movie at the IBFF in Atlanta, GA a few months ago and I was so glad that I decided to go see it. It is a wonderful story portrayed by some great talent. There are many faces I recognized from TV and Films. The story lines of these people living their lives in this small town were so moving. It was very refreshing to see a movie that touched on so many different topics that are sometimes passed over or not talked about in society today. The people in the movie reflect all of our real neighbors and friends. You never know how people really live. This movie portrays love of all kinds, loss, friendship, family, people troubled by substance abuse problems and lonely marriages, and children learning the lessons of life, finding themselves, and growing up. It is truly remarkable to see these things told in such a beautiful and truthful way. A MUST SEE! When will the DVD be out???
