Regardless of where you're at in life, if you can't find the good in the bad... and no matter how bad the bad is... then you're not living... Though I haven't seen this specific movie yet, I sincerely believe that such is the underlying purpose and meaning for BLACK/ MINORITY movies... outside of the Ghetto-ness and the stereotypes... there is some truth... and there is some sad and bad... but there is also so joy that goes along with the pain and some funny too & that should be not only expressed, but celebrated!!!
To those who can't see beyond such, again, you're not living... "you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself" as the good rapper/actor Oshe 'Ice Cube' Jackson once sung... OUT!
