Product Description

Seventeen-year-old Randy (Julian Walker) tries very hard to be a good person. Since his father (Isaiah Washington) left, Randy takes care of his emotionally disturbed mother (Mo’Nique), and he’s the kind of friend all of his classmates can depend on. As strong as he seems on the outside, Randy is hiding a secret inner struggle and denial of his true self. It’s not until he opens himself up to love that he discovers that becoming a man means accepting who you really are.

Decent film

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

The movie has a great story and the lead actor was wonderful, however I found that there was just way too much going on within the film that pulled your attention away from the main plot points. It is powerful in the way that it depicts the struggle of a young black Christian coming to terms with his sexuality especially with it being set within the bible belt of Mississippi. Mo's a much better actress than what I saw in this movie. I get it, she's a church fanatic who had a mental breakdown. Isaiah Washington's role though subtle was actually one of my favorites. He didn't get much screen time but his points came across well. I loved seeing little Nelson from The Cosby Show within the film, it has been such a long time since I've seen him in anything. If you are looking for a Christian drama with a message about the importance of love and acceptance then this is a good one. There is some strong language at times and a lot of sex scenes so not a good one for young kids.

With the Right Lead This Film Could Have Gotten Alot More Exposure.

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

This film was very well written and I dug the vibe and past through out the whole film. My only critique of the film is the lead character. I feel like they could have found someone better. He played the character a lil too soft to me. It would have went against the grain for the lead to actually not look an act like the stereotypically portrayed gay man. Also, an awkward Caucasian spouse always seems to sneak his way into a gay black film. Why couldn't his boyfriend be black? But other than that, the screenplay alone makes up for my opinions on the downward side of the film. I solely, still recommend this film. Monique and Isaiah Washington were stellar. The girl who played Crystal oddly enough was one of my favorites as well. Ian Polk rarely disappoints. #Icons

So they get rides to school now and it makes this ok? Ah, no! Monique is a great actress. I like how faith in Father God was kept strong in the movie. But, it was lost; the actors and such just did their own thing.

Loved it!

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

I eagerly awaited this dvd and was not disappointed.
At the beginning there was a little bit of dodgy miming (although I like to think maybe my audio /pic was temporarily out of sync!) but the singing and acting was superb.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film which will have a permanent place in my 'must keep to enjoy again ' library.
Of particular note for me was Kevin Allesee who stole every scene with his wonderful accent. But this does in no way belittle the performances by all concerned.

I WAS TOTALLY MISERABLE THROUGHOUT...

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

EVEN TO THE PART WHERE (IN HIS DREAM) HIS FATHER AND MOTHER CAME TOGETHER AGAIN BECAUSE THE FATHER TOLD HIM CLEARLY THAT HE IS A PITCH-HITTER; HE GOES EITHER WAY. (I FELT SAD.) DID HE KNOW THAT ABOUT HIMSELF WHEN HE MARRIED? MAYBE. MAYBE NOT. THAT'S WHY I WAS SAID. (THAT'S HOW LIFE CAN WORK DURING "TIMES").

THIS MOVIE INTRODUCES THE "IDEA" THAT ALL BOYS OR MOST BOYS GO THROUGH A DILEMMA OF COMING TO KNOW THEIR SEXUALITY AND IT IS ALL A PART OF GROWING UP. WELL YEAH. OKAY. WE'RE FREE. OUR PARENTS AND THE CHURCH, AND THE GOVERNMENT, CAN'T FORCE US IN TO WHAT THEY THINK WILL BE BETTER FOR US (AND SOCIETY) IN THE LONG-RUN. THAT'S THE PERCEPTION DURING THESE "TIMES". (WELL. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.)

I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT THE MOTHER WAS NOT PLANNING ON HAVING A BED OF YOUNG GUYS IN HER HOUSE JUST TO TO BE NICE. THAT'S NOT HER JOB AS A PARENT. BOYS AND GIRLS ARE SUPPOSE TO OBEY AND RESPECT THE RULES OF THE HOUSE.

AS ADULTS WE ALL LEAVE OUR MOTHER TO FIND OUR WAY IN LIFE. THIS MOTHER SHOULD BE PREPARING TO MOVE ON KNOWING FAIR WELL SHE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HER CHILDREN BECOME EVEN IF THE FATHER WASN'T THERE AND ONE HER OF HER CHILDREN WAS KIDNAPPED. BUT, THIS MOM REMAINED AT THE NEST....BUT THAT'S OKAY... YEAH (each mother chooses her own adjustments) BUT ONCE HER CHILDREN GET TO 21...A MOM SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE HER NEW WINGS HERSELF.

THE YOUNG FILMMAKER KEPT SAYING IN THIS MOVIE THAT "GOD IS LOVE"...WELL, GOD IS LOVE... BUT I MUST ADD THE ONLY THING I CAN ADD AND THAT IS : "THERE IS MORE THAN ONE GOD." *ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES DO NOT GET TO COME IN AND CHANGE PEOPLE'S GOD AND REPLACE PEOPLE'S GOD WITH THEIR BRAND OF GOD;. *THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND SAYING LOUDLY.* SO. THAT'S SOMETHING AMERICA WILL HAVE TO WORK ON.

THERE ARE A MILLION WAYS TO CREATE AND CONNECT TO A god FOR WORSHIP AND THERE ARE A LOT OF "SPIRITS" AND "ATTITUDES" AND THERE ARE A LOT OF "principles'" and "practices" TO GO ALONG WITH THAT....YOU KNOW: to make the connection to your own sense of god.
*TRADITIONALISTS CAN'T CELEBRATE TWO BOYS OR TWO MEN TOGETHER WHEN HETEROSEXUALS "WERE BORN in THEIR WAY TOO"; THEY WERE BORN TO MAKE BABIES WHEN THEY HAVE SEX AND BABIES ARE NEW LIFE FOR THE FUTURE. AND HOMOSEXUAL SEX IS JUST AN ORGASM. (WELL. THAT'S WHAT I THINK. AND THIS IS WHY I WAS MISERABLE THROUGHOUT.)
IN OTHER WORDS, HETEROSEXUAL TRADITIONALIST HAVE A DIFFERENT GOD BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT MISSION IN LIFE.
THIS IS WHAT I SAY IN MY SCHOLARSHIP.]

Great little movie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great little movie. An interesting story with a seldom-seen setting. Good performances from the mostly young cast with some interesting attitudes to sex and sexuality, though the more fantastic elements sit a bit awkwardly next to the mostly naturalistic acting and events. Glad that it's offered for UK delivery, as it has no UK distributor. Delivered in perfect condition and good time.
