I was in the local Blockbuster using my unlimited movie pass and realized I had seen the majority of the movies in the store. Obviously I have no life. The movie case caught my eye. Then I read the cast and rented it just on the cast. I found this movie to be an excellent musical as well as drama. The acting was very good. The dancing was upbeat and impressive. The wardrobe was excellent. The sets were also very good. The character of Taffy was almost written for Macey Grey. She delivered it very well and her singing was good. Even though the music was not typical of the time period, it was refreshing to hear music that took its beat from the 20's and 30's with lyrics you could understand. Hard to believe these guys are rappers.
Sprinkled throughout the movie is social issues of the 20's 30's (poverty, alcoholism, violence). Also touched on is infidelity (Roosters character) and being able to resist it with a good outcome.
Overall this movie was very well done and worth buying for your collection.
This movie is the the Halrem Nights of our generation.
