I absolutely LOVE this movie. Great story, directing and all-star cast. S. Epatha Merkerson was remarkable and needs more roles she can sink her teeth into. She makes it look so natural. Love her.
September 15, 2008Great movie,great cast,great music,this is one of those movies that is so good that when it is over you wish it would go on for another 90 minutes,I will w3atch this one many times.
September 8, 2008I, infrequently, view movies. Seldom, I will watch a move a second time. I have viewed this movie six times and thoroughly enjoyed it each time.
This movie is about too many who had long term lacks and one woman who "wanna" help them with their blues.
September 6, 2008 |  | FABULOUS PERFORMANCES; FINE SCRIPT |  |
THIS IS A FANTASTIC FILM!! Everything about it is great - the cast, the sets, the music, the plot, and the subplots. Never has there been such a fantastic ensemble cast with just more than a dozen excellent roles for African-American actors. Each character is well-developed with "histories" that can turn into spin-offs of this film. S. Epatha Merkerson deserved her Emmy and the young Marcus Franklin has a great future in film. Terrance Howard was both intense and witty - not to mention sexy! Plus there are fine performances by Louis Gossett, Jr., Carmen Ejogo, Jeffrey Wright, Michael K. Williams, Henry Simmons, Ernie Hudson, Charlayne Woodard, Delroy Lindo, and Jimmy Smits. And look out for Macy Gray in a dark alley - she can hide a straight razor in places you wouldn't think of! And the incredible Mos Def stretches his chops as a "jook joint Usher Raymond". Nuff said - go watch the flick and enjoy!

Oh how I love this movie! A wonderful true story full of hope and love, music and dancing and some of the best acting you will ever see, S. Epatha Merkerson and Terrence Howard especially, but the whole cast is spectacular. You will laugh and cry and get angry. It's a movie well worth owning.
