Movie Reviews of Crooklyn
Movie Review: Straight Boring!
Summary: 1 Stars
Alfred Woodard was the only good quality about this film. She's a wonderful actress that can make even a horrible role interesting. In short this is just another Spike Lee---message to society like film where he tries to teach some urban lesson through an inadequate movie. That's all good and dandy if the movie measures up to the hype. But I've seen too many black films with the same plot and they were all done ten times better than this. The only thing Crooklyn did was show me how the seventies was. Other than that the story was old, cliched and unnecessary. The little girl was drab and her brothers were fairly interesting but the story didn't spend any time on them. The girl was supposed to be the main character but after a while I forgot she was even in the film. Except for her standing in a few doorways, the movie seemed like it was coming more from the mother's point of view than the girl's. Spike once again strings together a bunch of mindless scenes to complete a disappointing movie that comes up incredibly short of what it needed to be. Don't waste your time on this.
