Okay, so it is supposed to be a Prohibition era movie set in 1930s Georgia. As far as the storyline goes, it did. As far as the music, dancing and language: no way. So, that required a leap of faith. That was not the problem.
There was a good storyline. The movie starts out right and that sets the expectations. Expectations that were not met. One regret is the choice for Andre's female counterpart. Together they were not able to make it believable or interesting. There was no magic.
The cast includes experienced actors like Ving Rhames, showman Ben Vereen and veteran Bill Nunn. Unfortunately that was not enough to carry the story. Terrence Howard played a part that is becoming a bit too stereotypical for him.
I was expecting more authenticity and soul, but was disappointed. I'm sorry to say, but feel a bit bamboozled...
