Movie Reviews of A Raisin in the Sun
Movie Review: Incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to watch this movie, not really knowing alot about the story. What drew me into it was the fact that actors such as Audra McDonald, Phylicia Rashad, and Sean Combs were in it. As soon as it started i couldnt leave the couch. The Story was amazing, and the acting by Audra Mcdonald and Phylicia Rashad was brilliant. Although Sean Combs did a good job, i thought his acting was shadowed by the womens, but still did a good job. The rest of the cast did a great job as well. I will definitley be getting this on DVD once it comes out.Movie Review: Wonderful and still Revelant
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie. Wonderful acting which also includes Sean Combs. I have watched both the 1961 version, and the 2008 version, and both are excellent adaptations of this wonderful play by Lorraine Hansberry. I did not know what to expect from Sean Combs, but I came away with a deeper appreciation for this talented gentlemen. Phylicia (who is one of my favorite actresses) did not disappoint me. This was a wonderful, cohesive, inspiring, thought-provoking, well-produced and well-directed film.
Movie Review: Good New Version
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been teaching A Raisin in the Sun for 13 years. While I love the Sidney Poitier version, my students were less than thrilled. I purchased this dvd with little hope that it would be very good, but I thought it was well done. I read some reviews about it not being good, some really picky things about whether or not a character would do something, added scenes, etc., but I really felt that this cast did a good job. My students were interested to see how "P. Diddy" would do as an actor and they and I were impressed.Movie Review: A Movie EVERY Member of the Family Should See!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by the work by Puffy Combs in this movie. I remember seeing the play as a young man and it has not lost any of the positive impact that I learned from this story. Even though some of the scences were/are very negative and racially sterotypical, it has a positive story to tell even today to all races. Good movie for the whole family to watch and discuss afterwards.Movie Review: A new tool for understanding
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach this every year as part of my curriculum. I am so excited to have an updated version of the play to show my students. They will really be able to relate to the updated actors. I fell in love with the performances of all the chracters especially Ruth and Mama. If only we had more role models like this in every house. I can't wait to get the DVD and show my students!
