All About You

I found this at a used DVD store and decided to give it a whirl (hey, I could always sell it on Ebay if I didn't like it!) This was a surprisingly pleasant highlight of my weekend!

The script was good, the acting was solid (despite the bitter comments of the previous reviewer; not Oscar-worthy, but still solid), and the soundtrack was great! There were some acting veterans that nicely rounded out the cast, such as Vanessa Bell Calloway, Lou Myers and the incomparable Debbie Allen. This movie is very relevant to today's dating scene. I would even pay full price for this movie, which is a minor miracle. Rent it and see for yourself (and don't forget to watch the deleted scenes! They provide additional context). This is what what more black films (and Hollywood) should strive to emulate, and it gives another layer of credence to independent film-making.

This is a lovely story set in some beautiful places. The actors playing the leads were very attractive and even though one knows the ending in a romantic comedy, the plots turns were still fun. The only critique I have for it, is that seeing the female lead smoking was extremely unattractive, out of place in such a sweet story.

A friend told me about this movie, as she'd really enjoyed it and I have to say I did as well. The actors were actually the singers in the music performances and while the syncing was sometimes obvious, it added to the freshman charm. There was a real affection in the way the actors were lit and photographed.

I love this movie.IT Touches the heart, because you see a movie without sex. How can I get the songs in the movie? It is so good to see two young people sit and talk about up building things. The way they were able to feel for each other without words.This movie brought tears to my eyes, and I'm not a baby. It is hard to turn on your TV and fine a movie that can be recommended to your friends. I have been married for 35 years, this movie made me remember the way you would fall in love. How you would look forward to seeing that person. How your heart would pain until they came into sight.This is the way people would grow in love.I also appreciated the way they tried to understand each others background. The way they had something in common,they both lost their mothers. Speaking about the music, it added the right touch. My hat is off to the composer.

This is a well-produced film, with beautiful cast, story and music. Sensual, emotive and clean-cut, the relationship between lead actor and actress really gave me goosebumps. Though the story is typical, the music makes the movies unique. It's quiet, without violence. It's smooth without vulgarity. It shows how most people of color really live without using the stereotypes common to films about African Americans. The usual silliness is absent in this film. The story of boy meets girl unfolds with a very happy, soothing ending.

The supporting cast are fresh, funny and entertaining. We need more and more movies like All About You.

Thanks to the producers for having the courage to make this beautiful love story. Keep up the good work. We need more love in the world of film.

I watched this on some movie channel the other day, and I found myself being drawn in by the story. I knew from the time the two leads met and started butting heads, that they would get together in the end. However, I was still endeared by the characters and their individual struggles that ultimately leads them to one another. Renee Goldsberry delivers a touching performance, and Terron Brooks compliments her well. He also has a great singing voice. I would love to get my hands on the soundtrack. I would recommend this movie if you are a hopeless romantic like me. And even if you are not, I would still give it a try. It is a nice story.
