I mean really, did we really believe that street gangs have dance offs?
Did we really believe a man could fly? lol

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the movie and I was one of those NPHC greeks who actually supported the movie from the beginning and went to see it opening weekend while many of the greeks around me proclaimed (even before the movie came out) that they were not going to give it a chance. I was one of those encouraging people to get out there and support Black film during opening weekend and had high hopes that people would enjoy it. And I do own it BUT as a Writer, I just see so many areas where the film could have been more, should have been more. I just don't buy into the whole...if it's entertaining, it can't be deep or educational thing. I just don't think like that. If your vision is big enough, you can get the lesson across and still entertain. A phenomenal writer can make the majority of the audience feel exactly how he/she intends.
