All About You (2001)
10/10
Positive Love Story

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is as good a romance movie as anything since the days of Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. It has humor, a clear distinction between the good and bad characters and enough romance to make a strong person weep. The movie was obviously a low-budget project with less than grandiose expectations. The Soundtrack was marvelous, as others have so eloquently stated before. Terron Brooks may have won a Grammy for his singing had this soundtrack been marketed through mainstream channels. All the characters, even the not so likable ones, did a great job in the picture. Were the lighting, filming and color always perfect? No! That's exactly why I changed my vote from a "9" to a "10." The Director, Producer and actors for this film should all be applauded for a job well done. They did what they had to do with what they had to work with and that is why I watch movies in the first place. Please, please, please put Lisaraye, Terron, Renee, Tico, Bobby, Chris, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Lou Myers, Debbie Allen and all these characters back on the screen for another go round. Every time I play the title song "All About You," my guests want a copy of the recording, but its hard to find. If Terron comes to my town to give a concert, with or without Renee Goldsberry, I will be the first in line at the box office.
