Cailyn B @addicted2the90s Sep 14, 2026 This was a wonderful movie. I’m so happy John Henry stopped being so stuck-up and decided to love his family! Everything about this movie was beautiful: the hair, the lingo, the outfits, the culture, the message, etc! See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Sep 13, 2026 Wow what a hell of a movie. This dramedy has it all. Great cast and characters with so many quotable lines. I can see where ice cube got the idea for barbershop possibly from this movie? One line from this movie involving chewing bubblegum and African wedding that may have influenced the wedding for coming to America? Anyway this movie was great and I'm glad I watched it.

We see a previously meek wife finally start to stand up for herself and her children with their (presumably well meaning) domineering father, and it's a helluva lot of fun. It was well worth tracking this one down, give it a look.

It makes a pretty decent attempt and defining a black family of the 70's that was stretched across several extremes of social idealism. I've got to give it to them. I was tempted to give up on it several times but I'm glad I didn't cause by the end, not only did it make me think, but it left me with a warm feeling that is all to rare with movies of this era/genre.
