Homer Hobbs (Tyson Beckford), home after two years in jail, returns to a town caught in the depths of the Great Depression where he is thrown together with four strangers, each struggling to survive: Benny, the street hustler eager to begin life anew in the sunshine of Florida; Clarence, a nobody who aches to be somebody; Gracie, the despairing owner of a boarding house; Lucy, whose past has caught up with her. Life is grim, but on Sunday nights, the men of the neighborhood piece together the finest attire their meager lives can muster to compete in an underground contest like no other. The nominal award is the five-dollar prize, but the real prize is the chance to feel like a king, just for an evening.

Beautiful film. Great acting. Audience loved it. Refreshing to see a 1930's period drama featuring African-Americans that is not about race, but about good people doing good things. Acting was supurb in this warm, endearing film about the struggle to find self-respect and dignity during a very difficult time in America's history. We need more films like this. |
