Filmed in my hometown...Houston, TX!
I remember being in high school (Da Ridge...Eagles baby!) when this movie came out in 1994. I remember thinking how cool that a movie like this would be filmed in my own city versus LA or NY. Many of the scenes in the movie were filmed in the most popular areas, especially those known as hot tourist locations. The movie depicts life in the roughest parts of town and how it can harden a person including families. But the two lovers in this movie dream about and desperately want a better life for themselves, therefore they take their destiny into their own hands in this courageous movie. Ya gotta' get this DVD and the soundtrack too...I love them both! Jason's Lyric, just one of many movies to put H-town on the map! The restaurant that Jada Smith works at is called "This Is It". Definitely one of the best soul food restaurants in Houston...check it out next time you're in town.

Best Romance Story
Yes, I thought this movie captured the grittiness of urban life and the conflicts of growing up with the odds of survival betted against romance between Jada Pinkett's character and Allen Payne's character very well and I liked the scenery and I liked the opposite roles played between Bokeem Woodbine and Allen Payne sorting out childhood conflicts with their dad played by Forest Whitaker and his wife played by Suzzanne Douglas as well as a climatic confrontation that leads to a tragic conclusion. Anyway, I will let the audience be the judge of this fine piece of cinema.

Classic cinema!
This is a great movie. It's well written, acted and edited. A young man and his girl are trying to rise above the oppressive obstacles of family and the limitations of their small town in order to make a better life for themselves. Jada Pinkett and Lisa Cole Carson are at their best.
