Trivia
In reality, Willie Earl (Austin Scott) is actually about 5 years younger than Bayou, (Joshua Boone) who plays his younger brother, despite playing the older brother.

Goofs
When Bayou, Willie Earl, and Ira arrive in Chicago; the weather is warm or spring-like as indicated by the clothes being worn and the physical demeanor of the folks out on the street. However, there are posters announcing upcoming shows on February 9 and March 23 therefore it has to be winter in Chicago, and winter in Chicago has historically always been freezing.

Captivating from beginning to end

I've always adored Tyler Perry, even though his Medea can sometimes get on my nerves, but this film is phenomenal! I loved the bluesy music; the story is so heartbreaking at times, and the authenticity of the era is outstanding! This took him years to come to fruition, but it was well worth it. A love story to remember for years. Powerful stuff that this couple had to endure because of Jim Crow South and the horrible racism. Still too familiar.

Also the struggle with his only brother's jealousy ~ heart-breaking on so many levels. Joshua Boone will become a major star after this movie makes its rounds.
