RENT BEFORE BUYING! December 24, 2008
By tkay
Format:DVD
I made the mistake of buying this movie before I'd seen it. Because I opened it, I can't take it back to the store. Listening to a friend, I bought this movie thinking it was good, I mean look at all the good actors in it? "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" = "A Good Script Is Hard To Find." This movie was aimless, all over the place and I had to force myself to watch all of it. Weak, weak, weak.

First of all, their son was older than they were. You remember how Cuba
Gooding, Jr. looked too old to be Laurence Fishbourne's son in "Boyz In The Hood"? Well, the son looked like he was in his late 20's and his parents looked like they were in their early 30's so they obviously had him when they were six making him a biological miracle.

This movie is slow moving, had poorly written scenes, left too many strings untied, and there was too much talent wasted on this film. Also, the title of the movie had nothing to do with its content. It should have been titled "Boring Movie" or "Wasted Talent".

I gave this movie to the friend who suggested it. I hope she makes it a happy home because it would only be in my way and take up space.

I'm sorry..this movie lacked the hype I expected. I think the director took away the talent these true actors and actresses had to offer. But then again most of CodeBlack entertainment films are poor in quality and production.

...but apparently a good movie is too! In spite of the caliber of the featured actors and actresses, I was left a bit lost and confused in the end.

Let me begin by saying Hill Harper did an excellent job as the charming-turned-cold boss, as did Melissa de Sousa and Mel Jackson as the high maintenance best friend and Renaissance man respectively.

I was thoroughly disappointed with the choppy story line that seemed to jump from one extreme to another, enabling most of the characters to fully develop. Also, some scenes (such as the throwing of the liquor bottle, the son fighting with his father) were overdramatized to the point of being ridiculous and ultimately irrelevant.

I understand the multiple messages that the movie conveyed in regards to being faithful, the importance of building a strong spiritual foundation within yourself and your family, and appreciating the things that you have instead of lusting after the things you don't need, but I just expected more.

I recommend renting the movie first before buying it; it should be available at your local video store.

Educative
Relationships should be between two people, and never invite a third party into your business.

There will be more problems if both parties can't stand up for each other.

Okay DVD
This DVD has a great story line behind it, it brings across so many different points that deal with real life. So many times Christians don't like to deal with some of this stuff. Read more
