User Reviews

Excellent

I loved it. It points out how two people closely related can process the same tragic event in their mind and heart and react to it differently. I cannot say enough about these brothers and the beautiful relationship that continued non stop with their aunt. The level of respect they had for her was wonderful to see. She spoke they listened. I thought both brothers had so much to offer others. They were different in so many ways yet so much alike. I was glued to my television as I watched the drama unfold.

I cannot say enough about Eartha Kitt whom I adore. I loved the musical selections as well. There was one scene of the brothers in church talking. I must have watched that at least 50 times and laughed every time I viewed it.

Enjoyable for entertainment, excellent acting, soundtrack, picture quality and story content. True to life. Depicts hope, love, encouragement, family, and humor
