Featured review
I would love to leave a comment under some of these Negative Reviews!!!
I can't quite understand how people left anything less than a 6 for a review for this movie. The only reason I say six is cause they do make jokes that are offensive to other cultures and genders so to speak. But other than that, it was quite funny. There definitely were some parts of the movie that people may not have appreciated. Some viewers really don't understand the whole 1988-1992 genre that seem to raise between decades and the start of one.
That would definitely explain all the references to Africa that the students were doing. Back then Black People including hip hop was all about wearing African Medalians and so on. This movie was touching on that just a bit. I have to agree with one viewer. I was surprised when I found it it was an all black cast. I mean I remember the movie when it came out but it was never brought up much in that time its all black cast. Probably cause they thought that was something that was going to be normal.
I watched this with my girlfriend who never heard or seen this movie and she loved it. The real funny part was Grace Jones. She was a little before my time in the early 80s so by 90s i saw a small glimpse of her. Definitely a raunchy movie but it was hilarious. Plus Im a sap for love stories. Plus I love how this made black women look. Powerful. Most movies to this day don't even do that.
Id like to have a word with those people who gave it a 5 and really a word with those who gave it a 1. There is nothing bad about this movie. Definitely comedy. Plus its just a great sound track. Now if we as black people could get back to making this type of movies that would be nice. This movie is like a mix of working girl mixed with definitely maybe.
