It shows the things that blacks of today & in the past have had to deal with to just get along in this world.Its about Love,Hate and Misunderstandings,it also shows a positive side of Detroit that most of the world doesn't get the opportunity to see. These things REALLY happen,I have been a victim of it myself and have seen it happen to friends.If you know anything bout or want to know about life in the D check this movie and for your self, you won't be sorry. In the immortal words of Rodney King "Can We All Just Get Along?"

Purchase, A Must

This movie is a much purchase. This movie talks about issues that are tabu in our communities among blacks and Arabs such as interacial relationships. The movie should be watched in our homes in order to bring dialog to the things that are never thought of or mentioned, but does occur and is often wondered. I think this is an excellent movie. I love to see movies were racism is addressed. I really like how this movie touches issues on interracial couples and dating outside your religion. There are a few things I'll give to this movie. I thought it was on point when it showed males of color opining that they could date interracially, but not their sisters. Others said, "It's okay to do that, so long as it isn't one of my family members." There is also an emphasis on, "Be civil to them, but don't take them home!" These are all dynamics that are common in the US, for those who are honest enough to admit it. I think this movie is well worth the buy.

I just rented this movie on DVD and I really enjoyed it. I'm from Detroit so I could be a little bias. However, I enjoyed seeing Detroit and the other suburbs photographed so beautifully. I found the explanation of how the Chaldeans, Arabs, and Muslems migrated to Detroit very informative. The cast was not only talented but very easy on the eyes.

The most interesting and comedic part of the DVD had to be in the special features section listening to the directors commentary. No offense, but it really seemed like Marc Cayce screwed over a lot of people to get this independent film made.

Oh yeah, one more thing.....The soundtrack for this film was off the chain! I would purchase it today if I could.

I watched this movie when it first came out but then I thought I'd lost the DVD, I just recently found it again and I have watched it at least twenty times since. I am a huge advocate of interracial dating and this movie just entices me to the max. I am not from Detroit, nor have I traveled there, but I would love to go one day and sight-see. I would definitely recommend this movie.

I love the end of the movie, because, me being a hopeless romantic, I feel like maybe I will have the same luck in an interracial relationship.

I just want to thank Marc Cayce for producing, writing and directing this film...it was just what I needed.

I was at the premier of this movie downtown Detroit and I thought the movie touched home from beginning to end. I read a negative comment from another native Detroiter and did not agree at all. I thought the picture quality was advanced and the direction was more professional than expected. I expected to see another low-budget film but was surprised to see how much the film had national theatrical quality. I could see this movie hitting big and making stars out of Detroit actors. There were also a lot of celebrities in this film. I particularly enjoyed Keith David and Deebo is always amusement. I thought Keith Sweat did a good job playing a gangster as well, which also caught me by surprise. This director really captured the real Detroit unlike 8 mile and made the city look good at the same time. I commend that. We need that!!!
