Movie Reviews of Cotton Comes To Harlem
Movie Review: El Cojonu Speaks
Summary: 5 Stars
Make no mistake about it, this is the funniest, most down with it movie made about life in the Hood back in the 70's.
Best characters: Calvin ( The Right Reverend Deke O' Malley - I'M I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOUUUU ! ), and Redd at the end who winds up with the money and the chicks( Redd Style ! ).
The part of REV. O'Malley was a take off on Rev. Ike, a real life Rev. up in Harlem who dressed in Custom Made Silk Suits,Wore Mink Coats of different colors, Alligator Shoes and Borsalino Hats, Drove a Gold Rolls-Royce and lived in a Penthouse up in Riverdale in the Bronx. Rev. Ike was a man of his time, he always had a
Knockout Sister on his Arm and Transmited his sermons on Sundays from his Church up in Harlem; I remember him saying one time that the Lord didn't want him to be poor and neither any member of his Congregation, that they should all go out there and get rich and bring him some.
The Brother was Super Cool and Out-of-sight; they broke the mold when he was born.
How many of you out there remember Rev. Ike ?
Movie Review: How about ME?
Summary: 5 Stars
'Am I Black enough for you?' That was the question the Right, Righteous, Reverend, Deke O'Malley asked of the people. I saw this when I was 14, in 1971 and have never forgotten it. Calvin Lockhart, Raymond St. Jacques, Godfrey Cambridge and the Drop-Dead Gorgeous...Judy Pace, made me sit in the State Theater and watch this at least 4 times running...right on my brother...Right On!!!
The cameo by Redd Foxx gave it a sense of legitimacy too, because as cool as he was, he was comfortable playing a junk man...didn't forget where he came from.
Movie Review: I thought it was a funny movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge fan of blaxploitation movies of the 1970s. I thought it was really funny, especially in the beginning of the movie. This is the kind of movie that you can't take very seriously because a lot of it is cliche. Calvin Lockhart's character (Rev. Deke O'Malley) is conniving, but irresistable. You will enjoy this DVD!Movie Review: Humor at its finest
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the funniest movie I have ever seen in my life. Only Richard Pryor ever made me laugh harder. Rex Reed, the movie critic whose tongue was sharper than a sword, said that you needed to sit through two showing in a theatre so you could hear the lines you missed because people were laughing so hard. He was right.Movie Review: Very funny movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
One of those 70's classic films that is a must have in your dvd collection. It would be nice if they could release the sequel to this movie. "Come Back Charleston Blue" was just as good. I wonder what are they waiting on?
