FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

annaily Endearing, sweet, funny, sad. This movie had the pacing of a book, slow and detailed, but it was excellent. Visually, I adored the colors and scenery of 1970s New York. Many colorful minor characters that really represent the scene well. The Ru Paul cameo was a nice touch.It's not gimmicky or trying to be funny. It's actually genuinely funny in spots, but mostly it is just very endearing and heartwarming. Brings back memories of childhood, no matter who you are or when you grew up, you'll relate to some aspect of this movie. It's a feel-good, coming of age, chaos and struggle of life movie through the eyes of Troy, the only girl of 5 children of a lower class family in New York.Alfre Woodard and Zelda Harris are fantastic. Harris is quite the little actress.

edwagreen You wonder how N.Y.C. teachers can put up with what they have to after viewing this 1994 film. After all, Alfre Woodard plays a teacher herself who heads a dysfunctional family. She and Delroy Lindo give credible performances as parents trying to cope in urban society with 5 children.The children act like too many of our children act today. Rude, loud, boisterous, fighting and again I heard the familiar expression-"Get off of me" when I taught as well.There are 4 boys and 1 girl. When the girl goes stay with family in Virginia during the summer, we find a beautiful home but there is that constant bickering again this time between the uncle and aunt with an adopted teenage daughter.It only takes for a family tragedy for the children to come together.Sad, but unfortunately true, there is tremendous stereotyping here of the African American family. This is not the Cosby show.

angil1994 I may be very young but, I love this movie. It's funny, I understand it, and it has a bit of drama and attitude which I love. I've seen it a million times and it never gets old. It's one of my most favorite movies. How could anyone not like it? I don't know much about spike lee, but he did a great job. I could really relate to the movie. Anyone who thinks differently is DEAD WRONG! You didn't hear it from me. Any comments about my opinion, e-mail me @ [email protected]. Because I want to hear exactly what you have to say. Right now, I'm watching Crooklyn actually. And like I said, it never gets old. No matter how long it's been out. I'll still love it. Like I said, e-mail me([email protected])

Haunani31 This movie is one of my all time favorites. Once a year me and my sister watch this movie. After the movie we sit and reminisce about all of the characters that we grew up with. It takes us back to the days when we played kick ball, red light green light, catch a girl get a girl, dodge ball, smear the qu%$r (known today as rugby)...all of which I'm sure are banned today.This movie is nostalgia in its purest form. If you grew up in the concrete jungle you will laugh to tears. The acting is outstanding and the cinematography is brilliant. Big ups to the Lee family for helping all of us to remember the good IL days.
