Kept it real

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2001)

I really enjoyed this movie. The trailer was misleading, I thought it was going to be another Centre Stage (which was a cute movie) but it had a lot more substance than that. Julia Stiles played the role of Sarah really well, she brought a lot of emotion to it and you could see the vacant looks when she thought of her mom, and the looks of pain when she talked about her. Sean Patrick Thomas pulled off his role well too as he seemed a diverse character, able to be the promising med student to be and a street-wise semi-thug at the same time. He balanced the two very well. The comedy added to the movie and tackled some very prominent issues for us nowadays, interracial dating and the death of a loved one as well as peer pressure and teen moms. I thought the depiction was excellent and can hardly wait to get it on DVD.
