Audience Member This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. It's overlong, bland, cliched, dull, and above all: IT'S SO BORING!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A charming, campy, well-meaning movie that is unfortunately slightly undone by some minor usage of racial stereotypes. (Not ALL black people like rap music.) But this is forgivable here, because in the time that the film was made people didn't understand racism nearly as well as they currently do in the present day. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Potentially one of the most stereotypical and unbearable experiences in movie history. It makes "The Blind Side" look more implicitly tolerant than it is. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent ater school special. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Take it for what it is...an after school special about the despicable history of slavery in america. It isn't great but it is watchable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
