... View MoreBack In the Day Favorite Movies This movie was an absolute joy; one of the best black films I have seen in a long time. It definitely took me back to the days when all those great R&B songs were out and to my first crush and first boyfriend, etc. This movie just put together a whole bunch of good looking black people into a story that's not about violence or any kind of negativity, just pure fun; it's what life is all about for those of us who appreciate but can't fully relate to life in the hood. It was so much fun. I loved every minute of it. The story was great; the acting was convincing, the plot was realistic and it's a movie I will always think about with a huge grin on my face. Two thumbs way up in my book!
... View MoreThe movie is about friendship, three guys Slim, Mike and Roland, and how this friendship evolves from being a friendship consisting of three boys, to a friendship consisting of three men. In the movie you follow Roland who is about to get married, and he is getting cold feet, his two friends Mike and Slim are there to try and get him out of the trouble he has caused for himself.The movie works in 2 different time tables, one where they are boys and one where they are men, you see them meet and evolve their friendship, and see how they became so close friends. A brilliant way to make you feel the passion between these three friends, a very touching movie, as I write this I'm still touched by the ending.The acting is ranging from average to strong, I especially like Omar Epps acting, a very good actor indeed.In my opinion definitely worth a watch, do however not expect Oscar performance, since the actors are not Oscar material in my opinion.rated 7,5/10 (would give it 7, but added 0,5 because it touched me so much)
... View MoreThis movie is funny and touching. It shows the boys we were, and the men we become. Mike(Omar Epps) and Slim(Richard T. Jones) are preparing,when there best friend Roland(Taye Diggs) is getting married. But become very annoyed when the groom to be, suddenly is no were to be found, just 2 hours before the wedding. When Slim and Mike find Roland, they must talk some sense into him, and bring him back to the wedding. During that time they begin to remember about there time in high school together . An enjoyable film. That makes us want to remember our teen years, and really remember the 80's. Omar Epps, Richard T. Jones, Taye Digs were terrific, even the guys who there younger counterparts were great also. The flash back scenes were more watchable then the present scenes. Still a great movie.
