Runnin' from My Roots

Good music. Good acting. Good story. Janelle Arthur, an American Idol finalist, is a pleasure to watch on the big screen. Her singing is fantastic and the title song, RUNNING FROM MY ROOTS, is one that gets stuck in your head. Head over to Amazon and rent this one for the family.

Nothing stands out in this movie.The storyline is predictable, the actors not great and it fails to keep your interest.Not recommended.

This movie could have been better. The entire movie was filmed way to tight on everyone's faces. There was no room for developing characters through body language, or making it seem realistic with background sounds and character extras. The characters didn't really get screen time together because it dashed back and forth on tight frames while they performed dialogue. There was no room for any further development, we could have seen better character development if we saw how they interact with each other or see the things going on around them. This would have make the film more realistic. I feel like the actors weren't to blame for the choppy feel of the film.

This is pretty much a lifetime movie missing a background story, skipping allot of the behind the scenes and the ending leaves you with questions. Too much going on. Good singing.

A little light on character development. A family friendly film with some very good music.
