      • Jan 28, 2016

        A movie that you feel, and with characters you grow to really care for. I understand why this has developed a cult following. It's kind of a '90s gem.

        Acceptable comedy that probably received good reviews for being an earnest effort by a first time director. Where did that director go by the way?

        Get Together. Fall Apart. Start Over.

        Finally. A film that features African Americans. Definitely goes against the everyday romance; love it.
