Wouldn't recommend this to anyone, July 6, 2007
This review is from: Men Cry in the Dark (DVD)
I purchased this DVD because I heard from a friend that it was good. I liked the play the Maintenance Man, so I assumed this would be just as good...I was totally wrong. This was the longest and most boring play I have ever seen. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone---save your money.

I Can't Rate This to High...., May 20, 2007
This review is from: Men Cry in the Dark (DVD)
I only bought this because I'm such a fan of Allen Payne. Sorry but this play was sooooooo utterly boring.
1. There were two scenes that I had to just fast forward through because they lasted so long and were so dry, and then I just stopped the DVD altogether.
2. It was too much like the movie, "the Brothers." Now had this been called, "The Brothers (the Play)", I could have gotten in to it. But it wasn't so I couldn't. There was the sexy light skinned guy getting getting engaged, there was the bitter black guy who didn't like black women, there was the super sexy player who could never commit, and the fat guy was the comic relief. There was nothing original about this play and I hated it. The 15-20 minutes that I saw of it anyway.
3. Someone said this was "so real", but no it wasn't! It was cliche matter of factly.
4. Allen Payne is pretty good actor but I don't think the stage is his forte. He may need a little more practice at stage plays because he really wasn't that good here.
Like someone else said, rent or borrow before you buy. This play was awful.

This was an excellent play. Very funny and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good African American plays.
