I wasn't sure how this movie was going to be. I hadn't heard much about it but I am a fan of Outkast so I was pretty sure I was going to like it. This movie was okay. It wasn't really anything too special. I didn't care for all of the musical numbers. I also thought it was weird that they used rap music in a movie set in the 1930's. I thought that the beginning of the movie was a little slow, and to me it was also kind of hard to hear the actors in the beginning, it kind of sounded like they were mumbling or else the background noise was just too loud. Who knows?? Maybe it was just my ears. I think this movie would have been better if it had focused wholly on Percival and Angel's romance. I thought Andre did a great job as Percival in this movie, he's a pretty good actor and he's really cute too. Paula Patton did a good job as Angel too. The both of them were pretty much the only entertaining parts of the movie. For me personally, I didn't really care for Roosters character much and also Terrance Howard's character was kind of strange. However, the costumes and the effects of this movie are great!! I love the way they did some of the shots of this movie like for example the part with the cuckoo clock, and I also think the sex scene between Angel and Percival was shot wonderfully. It was shot beautifully and tastefully. I'm glad I gave this movie a chance. It was good. I don't think I'll buy it but I'm glad I gave it a chance by renting it.
