This independently produced drama from director Andrew P. Jones travels back to the Great Depression of the 1930s. It tells the sad saga of Homer Hobbs (Tyson Beckford), a young African-American man who wraps up a two-year jail sentence and returns home to his dead-end small town with a complete lack of prospects. Instinctively, Homer develops a rapport and begins to stick together with four other people roughly in the same boat as he is: Clarence (Glynn Turman), a zero who longs to be someone significant; Gracie (Lynn Whitfield), a down-and-out boarding-house owner who harbors a shocking secret; Benny (Reginald T. Dorsey), a street hustler who plans to relocate to sunny Florida and start afresh; and Lucy (Linara Washington), a woman whose scandalous past threatens to destroy the lives of those around her. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    Da Hood Critic G.

    Nice storyline. Had potential to take you somewhere with this one...Just didn't take you all the way! A throwback of who had the best swagger, or who flaunted the best, with high confidence. OK Watch. " Da Hood Critic "

    This was a great movie for the whole family. Its storyline was cohesive and brilliantly written and the acting was believable. I felt for the characters as they went through their journey. Good Job!
