12/23/2012 Very Lifetime movie... Not sure how it made it to DVD. See more 10/02/2011 You say you want them, well here's one...an African American drama, dealing with real issues, positive (and realistic) role models (a little sappy at times), but with no buffoonery, and no shallow black women. Robert Townsend has been doing this for years...he get's better with time, yet he still doesn't get nearly enough recognition. But I have to warn you: keep your Kleenex handy. See more 03/22/2011 Great film about how different family members cope with grief. Angela Bassett portrays the mother killed in a traffic accident, leaving her husband (played by Robert Townsend), a workaholic, to raise their three children. The fact that the kids are far apart in age presents interesting storylines as each are also contending with personal issues, such as career and peer pressure. The movie also addresses the subject of sexual abuse in a sensitive manner. The screenplay, acting, and directing are all top-notch. This film should be shown in all middle and high schools. Bill Lee, Author of "Chinese Playground" and "Born to Lose" See more 03/15/2011 Great movie .. in love with the song "for a reason ".....shows unique relationships and contemplated emotional triumphs See more 03/12/2011 wonderful message about family. Get the tissue See more 01/27/2011 An urban 'After School Special' Townsend should have passed on...than I would have to. Does JB Recommend: No See more Read all reviews
