The Color of Love: Jacey's Story

Whether any indictment was intended must be taken into consideration. If in the year 2000 there were still rifts of feeling between Caucasian and Afro-Americans in Georgia, such as shown in this film, obviously there remains a somewhat backward mentality among a lot of people out there. It is rather hypocritical, to say the least, if everyone adores Halle Berry, Whoopie Goldberg, Beyoncé, Noemi Campbell, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, et. al., whilst out in the backs there persist manifest racial divides.

White grandmother suddenly gets black grand-daughter thrust upon her, only to meet up with black grandfather in a very white social backwater. The story is sweet, not lacking tragic overtones, and eminently predictable as in most of these kinds of TV films, though the final scene has you guessing............ will he? won't he.......?

Gena Rowlands in her typical style offers a sincere rendering, and Louis Gossett is a good match for her; the little Penny Bae fortunately does not steal the show.

A `nice' way of relaxing after Sunday lunch without having to force your mind too much, though you might just find yourself having a little siesta in the middle of it.

I have been on a 90s lifetime movie kick on tubi lately and it recommended this movie. I know it's from 2000. But anyways..I really like Gena and Louis so I put it on while folding laundry. I was about a half hour in and hadn't even touched my laundry! I really enjoyed it! The acting was so good from the main characters to even the supporting ones. Jacey is so cute too. I felt everything they were ..it was that kind of movie. I was sad and teary eyed for them then smiling during the happy scenes. To me it seemed like such a realistic story. Sad.. but I loved how it ended. This is one of those movies that will stick with me for a bit. Watch it!

I recently watched The Color of Love: Jacey's Story (2000) on Tubi. The storyline revolves around an elderly white woman in the South who hasn't seen her daughter for years due to a high school dispute. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers her daughter has passed away and left a biracial grandchild that needs taking care of. This discovery raises questions about her socialite status, the identity of the child's father, and whether she will decide to keep the baby.

Directed by Sheldon Larry (Leave it on the Floor) and features a talented cast, including Gena Rowlands (The Notebook), Louis Gossett Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman), Penny Fuller (All the President's Men), Stella Parton (Ragin Cajun) and Michael Harding (Just Mercy).

The Color of Love: Jacey's Story is a heartwarming film with intriguing characters, complex backstories, and compelling situations. Rowlands and Gossett Jr. Deliver captivating performances with great chemistry. The plot offers numerous twists and turns, and while the ending may be predictable, the journey is fascinating and well-executed. The child actors also perform solidly, adding to the film's charm. There's really nothing to dislike about this movie.

In conclusion, The Color of Love: Jacey's Story is an underrated family film that is well worth your time. I'd give it a 7.5-8/10 and strongly recommend it.

Loved this movie. The writing and southern houses and greenery and scenery and clothing were great but these two actors are what made the movie so brilliant. Louis Gossett Jr. And Gina Rowlands are so great at making movies that anything they starr in becomes a winner. To see them both side by side caused my heart to bubble up with joy! Their fine acting caused my own life drudgeries to be forgotten by myself getting engrossed in this movie.

A wonderful, warm hearted film that captivates family and bridges gaps between the races. Gena Rowlands, Louis Gossett Jr. and Penny Bae Bridges do an excellent portrayal of how if we come together, there is nothing we can't accomplish. Georgia (Gena Rowlands) is suddenly confronted with pain and is thrown into a situation that she didn't even know existed. Georgia instantly bonds with Jacey and they become inseparable. Lou throws a bit of a jolt as he comes in from San Diego. Difficult situations and triumphs are dealt with as adaptations become realities! There is a lot to be learned from this warm and gentle hearted feature.
