    A rare Chicago flick. Reelblack coming through with another gem. Salli Richardson's first film role and she _still_ looks like a dime. This movie screams 1990. A young R. Kelly with Public Announcement before he appeared on _Big Break_ and won the $100,000 cash prize. And Jordan was getting ready to soar to even greater heights with the Bulls. R. Kelly's story became quite a sad one: all that talent and records sold after that didn't mean a goddam thing. I love love love Ms. Marla Gibbs. The TV grandma/auntie in my head turning 90 on my dad's birthday. Long live Ms. Gibbs.

      Actually it's not Public Announcement that wasn't the group's name in 90, 91 that's back when they used to go by MGM before they got sued by the casino for the use of that name. If I remember correctly after they won that old television show Big Break hosted by Natalie Cole and after their first single I think it was "why you want to play me" went platinum or something that's when the MGM Grand filed their lawsuit against the record company and the group which force them to change their name to Public Announcement.

      @@GangstaMojo You're Right and Wrong. MGM and Public Announcement are TWO different groups. The FIRST Album "Born Into The 90's" was recorded with MGM, NEVER Public Announcement. REMEMBER when Robert met Public Announcement in the Bathroom of some place, maybe a club, THAT FIRST album was already COMPLETED.

      @7774 in my opinion marla gibbs and the actress who played ron's wife were extremely poor choices. there was no real chemistry between ron and either of them. he should have tried to get sheila frazier again. denise nicols, pam grier or even diana ross would have been good choices.

    👐🏽 Thank you for sharing this insightful movie based on realism. Personally remember being bused to an all white high school for 9 & 10th grade until losing first my Father, killed in VN and then my Mother 19 months later, her death still a mystery to date. My Sister and myself became orphans and per my Father's will all military had to have wills. My Mother's will was never found, though my GodMother continually stressed at the time that my Mother had a will, she even swore on her Mother's grave that there was one. We were relocated to Philadelphia to stay with two of my Father's sisters. Unfortunately my younger Sister and myself were separated and never lived together again as children.
    During my 9th &10th grade years there were race riots practically everyday during school hours. Practically all of them were between "Negro or Black" and "White or Caucasian" Male Students. Other titles were used instead of Negro an Español term, among them Black, Afro American, then Jesse Jackson introduced the term African American that has lasted to the present time!😳

    Good God Damn the amount of racism in the beginning scene. I get Chicago can be segregated by north and southsides but I'd not think that racism would be so prevelent that the mere presence of an African American/Black transfer student would set off comments like that. Especially when there is already other AA/B students there, as well as a Latino who seems to correct the others in use of non-racist terms.
