    TrueHello

    Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

    A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

    This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

    Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

    I remember this thing and had not an ever-lovin' clue what was supposed to be going on.A kid from LA moves to Brooklyn and has a time adjusting, makes friends, or something.Raphael Sbarge (who?) was the kid, it was the break-dance era, so there was a bit of that, if you were going to be cool, but of course he was cool. His friends were cool and they said he was cool.It was all cool.I remember the one, Snake, Guy Killum, was appearing in a Skittles commercial about the same time.With a lot of break-dancing of course.One episode had a much-admired former student who was going to college on a basketball scholarship, died of a drug overdose in the classroom.Now the class must sit and talk about how they feel.Sbarge remembered a lot of good things about his friend, then concluded with 'that's all I got to say.' I always like that line. 'that's all I got to say.' like that is all there can be said, but that means what they have said must be deep, which ten times out of ten, . . . it isn't! No wonder this show only lasted one season, but I never understood how it got on the air to begin with.Not surprising to see no one else seems to remember it either.Next time I would see Sbarge, he was on the premiere of Fox's silly Werewolf show.
