For the most part like real life

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2005)

This is a very hard movie to sit through especially for African Americans. So much of it makes you mad, then you get sad. There were only a few things that didn't ring true for me, but judging by the world today I guess you can never predict what human beings will do. It was nice to see the supposed bad guys do something good, but it wasn't as comfortable to see the good guy not take responsibility for doing something bad. My husband and I were the only African Americans in the theater when we saw this movie and we laughed a lot while the rest of the theater was silent. But at the end I kept waiting for something Hollywood to happen and it didn't; then I remembered this is suppose to be like real life, nothing Hollywood happens in real life.
