I knew I was not the only person who found the one-liners to be corny and the narrative to be flat.

The first 10 minutes of the movie made me cringe in embarassment and by the end of the movie I had a mix of celebratory pride and embarassment over kind of a halfassed movie release. My friends have asked me how I liked the movie as they prepare to go see it: It has its ups and downs, it works for what it is, you will know what I mean when you see it. I gave it 3 out of 4 stars just for the history, the point behind it all, and the mere fact that I love to see Black actors. It wasn't horrible. It just wasn't awesome.
I talked to a guy last night about supporting the movie by actually paying to see it. I don't believe in stealing movies by watching them on the Internet or purchasing a bootleg. But, if Black folks insist, steal The Help but support Red Tails by paying to see it.
