Review: sexy , violent , self-indulgent and maddening 
Sentiment: negative

Review: better acted -- and far less crass - than some other recent efforts in the burgeoning genre of films about black urban professionals 
Sentiment: positive

Review: the holocaust escape story 
Sentiment: positive

Review: film about growing up that we do n't see often enough these days 
Sentiment: positive


Review: the film runs on a little longer than it needs to -- muccino either does n't notice when his story ends or just ca n't tear himself away from the characters -- but it 's smooth and professional .
