Although this is set in today's Harlem its theme is timeless and universal: a group of young, newly-independent friends trying to find their way to the careers and loves and lives they're searching for. As they navigate the complicated currents of jobs and relationships and dreams and ambitions, they chalk up both victories and disappointments.
Everything in their environment, from the lively, colorful street life to local housing squabbles to economic pressures to serious partying, provides grist for the comedy and the music.
It's hard to believe this movie is the work of a first-time producer. It may be a little rough at the edges (although impressively crafted considering its shoestring budget), but it doesn't lack in exuberance or heart or musical richness.
The lyrics of the final song sum up the spirit of not only the characters in the story but the talented team behind the film:
"If you stay true to yourself and follow your heart, Then I can promise, it will be OK."
