I love this movie.
I just saw it for the first time and could kick myself for waiting so
long. Brandon Hammond is a hoot and Viveca A. Fox was wonderful. It is
so nice to see a movie centered around an African-American family that
wasn't about hoods or hip-hop. Every family, black or white or
whatever, can identify with the kinds of problems this family had.
There is a poignant, endearing quality to this movie that just appealed
to me and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a "feel-good" fix
without the sweet-as-saccharine quality so many movies have.
