Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Few screen portrayals of Afrian Americans ring as true.
Review: While parts of this film are a bit saccharine, on the whole I would say that this is one of the best portrayals of African American family life that I have ever seen. The characters' concerns and fears ring true, as do their support mechanisms in difficult situations. The movie made me lament things that African Americans have lost as we have moved to cities and away from our traditional communities.
