Fantastic is an understatement. Sasha Mitchell shines in this gem, this slice of Brooklyn life that puts most other New York movies to shame in the gutter of garbage where they belong.
Charming as heck, it follows the path of an ignorant fellow, Sasha, who has a heart of bronze and a head of stone, as he tries to pursue his dreams of love, boxing, and just trying to get by after he's banished from Bensonhurst, the only place he wants to be! He may be stupid but he looks real good.
And Talisa Soto is wonderfully beautiful, both ripe and delicious! Lots of laughs, local color, and an original for sure!
