    Good movie

    This is a really funny movie. The acting of stars such as Donald Faison, Deon Richmond, and Guy Torry help this film alot. the best parts are the dream sequences. Now that's funny. I would recommend this movie to ghetto comedy or just comedy.

    Overall the movie is funny and people should lighten up on what they think. Rating 9 out of 10.

    classic high school film

    A classic high school film in the mold of the John Hughes pics from the '80s. Decent story aided by good performances and some great jokes. You'll never look at fried eggs the same way again. Load granddad up with pork and enjoy.

    P.U. (As Film Critic- Jay Sherman would say: "It stinks!!!")

    Everything in the movie was predictable and cartoonish. It kind of reminded me of a "black" "Saved By The Bell" movie. I got tired of the played sad/infatuated with beautiful-girl/day-dreamin' high school kid movies. I mean, this sort of story is just played out. Surprisingly, I liked "Good Burger" better than this movie, and that's by Nickelodeon!!!! I would wait until this movie appears on TNT, USA, or Comedy Central to see it again. I definitely wasted $13.50 on a date to see this movie.

    There were a lot of unnecessary plots, profanity, and scenes throughout the movie. They were so insignificant, the movie got off beat by a long shot. It deserves a Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Cheesiness." The only part I liked in the movie, was when they trying to feed his grandfather at the breakfast table. Now that was comedy. Overall the movie belongs in a dumpster, next to the used up Goodwill items.

    And Fallin'

    Deon Richmond is anxious to get to the prom, but his parents are of no help. They want him to apply to college, but he's just been drifting through, dreaming about getting together with Maia Campbell, working his low-paid job at the rib joint, and fantasizing about being various things -- rap star, war hero, and so forth.

    It's the sort of comedy in which the losers turn out to be winners because the apparent winners are awful, like Animal House. As such, it hits all the plot points, and for a bit just before the end, seems to have some heart. It's in the earlier parts, when we see his fantasies and how they are punctured that it fails. They're so over-the-top and even gross that I could take no pleasure in them. Richmond seems to be a competent performer, and perhaps witha better script, he might have attained the peribathos the situation calls for. Unfortunately, it is what it is.

    FUNNY HILARIOUS TEEN COMEDY

    This movie is a funny teen comedy about a high school senior who is your typical loser. He daydreams about what he wants, but what he can't have. Then he mets Cinny, and he falls head over heels with her, but she's way out of his league. So he lies to her and tells her things to flatter himself to get her attracted to him, then she likes him, but finds out later he lied. Then dumps him, and then goes to the prom (major event in this movie) with her ex-boyfriend.

    The really sad part in this movie that is really painful is how he ends up going to the prom all alone, and on the bus too, and with no date either! That's gotta hurt! His family is supportive of him, but when he leaves the house for the bus stop, they feel pity on him. This movie may provoke bad memories for some people who had it hard in high school, but the ending is very nice.....like all movies in hollywood!
