"What About Your Friends" is only an hour long, but it gives a realistic view into the lives of three teens in that short time.

This film is about three African American teen girls who are close to graduating from high school. They have been planning for quite some time that they all would go to the same college so their friendship could remain the same. They all get into the college and everything seems to be going great with their senior year, but things start to change and the girls friendship is put in jeopardy.

The situations in the movie are handled nicely, they could have become cliched, but are always well played. The characters are very well developed, mainly Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle from Saved By The Bell) character, who is bullied because in her neighborhood it is looked down upon to strive for an education.

"What About Your Friends" obviously hasn't been seen by many, but it should, because it tells a realistic tale and shows the importance of friendship.
