    • Trivia
      DJ Perry credited the unique 'Gil Gilles' strut to the influence and inspiration of Sherman Hemsley's famous George Jefferson character. It was a nice tip of the hat to a great actor and role.

    Cool and entertaining
    Overall an interesting and entertaining movie.

    We very much enjoyed the music and felt the story was funny with a meaningful plot.

    It was the first time I have been to the movie theater in years which brought back that nostalgic feeling and smell of popcorn.

    This film makes me want to start going out to the the movie theaters once again.

    Thumbs up to the cast and crew for job well done great especially during such difficult times.
