Roland, I have to say I found your comments about as unintelligent as the new Legally Blonde movie. Crazy in Alabama is a great piece of movie making esp..coming from a first time directer...(antonio). Obviously you have never seen a movie with revolving story outlines but believe me Rollie, they have been done before. I thought both stories were intertwined beautifully using Peejoe as the pin between both pieces... The story is about freedom.. I also found that there were fleshed out African American characters... the funeral director being one of them.. The story itself was being told by peejo..so perhaps enough emphasis wasn't placed on certain characters..but you only have two hours to explore all these characters, sacrafices have to be made..roland...
The movie is worth watching and I wish for children's sake that movies like this continue to be made...Perhaps if more soulful pieces like this saw the light of day... the world might be a better place to live.. Great, moving soundtrack as well. Give it a try *** stars
