I think the movie showed a side of Jamaica that often goes unnoticed in the tourism adds. I really liked Marcia, there was something real about her character. I also enjoyed the daughter, Tanya. She had spunk, and was a little more understandable.Paul Campbel is excellent in his role as Priest. The dialect was fun for me.. and if you watched the film on DVD you could use the subtitles as Jamaican Patios 101 (smile). The story is real however. I find that majority of the Jamaicans i meet who are working class or from a less affluent side of town love the film...The same doesn't always hold true from others though. Well if you want to be entertained...i think this is a very very entertaining movie and it showcases the darker side of Jamaica...while taking you into the "real dancehall".A definite must see

I think this is an excellent film. It shows Jamaica in a different light...The cinematography is amazing and the cast compliment each other well. I was very impressed with the music in the film. I find it both impressive and unusual that the lead actors could actually "really" sing.I didn't believe that Anderson was really singing until I witnessed her first hand in Toronto at a party for the Film Festival. SHe definitely has presence and is singer, no doubt. Marley definitely has screen presence and looks good on camera. I liked him in this role. However, at times the pace of the film was a little slow...but it's definitely a feel good movie. Definitely a must see. Looking at the credits i wonder "what was life like on set?"..the team was part Jamaican, part British, and part Norwegian... When will this film come to theaters in the US...I hope soon I really enjoyed it.
