I'm glad at least some people respect this film!, 4 April 2000
Author: movieman-93 from Chattanooga, TN

I thought I was the only one who loved this film. It has everything! The groove, passion, soul food, a butler in a penguin suit, fashion, e.t.c. I'm so sad that this isn't on DVD, because I only buy DVD's. But this film is still one of my favorites. **** out of ****
