Cleaver Family Reunion

At first, I thought "Leave it to Beaver 2013". Wow! Then when I read the trailer notes. I thought it was going to be the typical "Family Reunion" flick that's been done over and over but this one has a unique twist. I thought the story-line was good and most people can relate to it which gives it marketability in the genre. The acting was good too. New faces and a cohesive cast of characters that surface in the film. The production value was good but the audio suffered a little in the beginning of the film. It moved along at a good pace. A nice balance between drama & comedy. There were moments of profanity & innuendo but nothing "over-the-top". I gave it a 7 out of 10 because the overall production value could have been 3 points better. Great effort!! Look forward to seeing more from the producers.

I am old and black and remember when Hollywood made films specifically to demean black people.That includes the Blaxpoitation Period of Super Fly etc. This is another one of those Minstrel Shows that make me cringe. All the elements are there from the neighborhood adultress to well, you name it. I could not get past the grandmother. Turned the whole thing off. I cannot image tuning into this with my children only to find this garbage. Just disgusting.
