Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST OF ALL TIMES
Review: This movie is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen! It takes me to a time and place that my parents and brother often spoke about. It moves me to tears and laughter. It's my personal favorite- and if pop culture got a hold of it, I'm sure they'd feel the same.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this movie !!!!!!!
Review: This movie will take you "Back Down Memory Lane."
I grew up during the 70's and this movie hit home to me 100%. The sound track alone will sell you on the movie. Spike Lee as well as ALL the characters in this movie will allow those who did NOT grow up in the seventies to know what the experience was like. The young girl in the movie is a STRONG actress and carries her role as the "MISS KNOW IT ALL" sister in the family while each of the brothers give her a hard time. It is up to the sister to keep the family together in the time of crisis.

Much love SPIKE for bringing this time period in the lives of African Americans to the big screen for those to enjoy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brooklyn Never Looked this Good!
Review: Troy is a bright, beautiful little girl growing up in a fairly large family in Brooklyn. She is delightfully brash and original, traits she undoubtedly inherited from her indomitable mother. Her gentle father, a musician, is a soft hearted dreamer who leaves the more practical aspects of family living such as guidance, business issues and discipline to the no-nonsense mother.

Troy gets a taste for life outside of Brooklyn when she spends part of a summer visiting an aunt and uncle who live out of state. Their adopted daughter, raised as an only child, teaches Troy some of the finer points of independence -- Troy does not have her brothers to rely on with this family.

Matters come to a head when Troy's mother dies. Her father and other concerned neighbors help keep the family together in a pinch and it is Troy herself, the bright, beautiful little girl who really radiates hope throughout this ordeal.
