He was most definitely a lost cause, he had two supportive people in his life and he chose to keep messing and stay in the streets. He was stuck in his ways
Josh had mental health issues, and I think he needed to be getting help for that. It doesn't matter if you have supportive family members. Sometimes , you have to get help outside of the family.
@@deannaporter1588 of course he needed help, that doesn't mean he ever gonna willingly receive it and it also doesn't mean he won't turn around and start doing the same things all over again.
Yup.
@rasheedbenson3881 Yup.
I understand Josh has childhood trauma but he had supportive mother and brother who tried to help and wanted the best for him
Yeah. The fact that Jason and Josh turned out so differently is really strange the more I think about it. Like...how did that happen.
The only thing I can speculate on, which I don't think is true, is that Jason and Josh could have different fathers. That doesn't seem to be the case though...but considering the mother and father's complexion and Jason being so light in skin tone...but I doubt that's it. In cases where kids have different fathers who are both absent, not-so-good mothers will treat one child poorly if she hates his father. A good example being Dough Boy and Ricky from Friday. We also see some horrible examples of this real life, but I wont go into those stories because they're tragic and real.
But since that's very likely *not* the case and we see they have a great mother (so even if they did have different fathers, she'd be good to both of them) and the film implies they have the same father...what caused them to be so different even in childhood? Maybe Jason was just mature enough to deal with Mad Dog's change? Or maybe it's more simple than that. Maybe he was old enough to remember the good Mad Dog before the war and Josh was too young to remember the good times, so he only saw the bad Mad Dog and him being so young, it left more of an impact on him. So Jason grew up being more like the Good version of Mad Dog that we see in Jason's Dreams. Josh ends up being the bad/traumatized version of Mad Dog. In an alternate universe where Mad Dog never has to go to war, he'd remain a good man and father, he'd still be alive, and Josh would be similar to Jason, likely working with him in the same shop.
@@HeShoeTooBigthat’s just how it is sometimes. You have siblings with the same parents who go down different paths in life. Some people just refuse to do right. Sadly, you have to charge your family members to the game even though you still love them
@@Luke-kg7vuI highly disagree Joshua did not have the support of his mom she failed him and is brother never got them professional help and blamed Joshua and she picked jason as her favorite
@@darnellwilliams8783I mean she try even give him a job at her business but he stole from her…
@@DubBeats she was just a bad mom from the men she picked to how she poorly raised her kids it's her fault josh turned out that way
The “bad kid with silver caps energy” is real! that was funny 😂. Suzanne Douglass was so pretty. Rip ❤
Bookeem Woodbine said in interviews that Josh suffered from bipolar disorder, which he said explained some of his character's volatile behavior. I'm not sure whether Josh had been diagnosed, but he was definitely trying to self medicate (unsuccessfully) with alcohol abuse. That combined with Josh's unhealed childhood trauma and his general idgaf attitude made him a lost cause 😞
Makes sense. There can also be a possibility of Borderline personality disorder and some PTSD
But you gotta admit my man Bokeem is a great actor though played the hell outta his role
@@rampagerichard he did do a fantastic job
@@rampagerichardhe’s for sure a method actor. Guy Torry said he didn’t talk to them on the set of “Life” because Can’t Get Right couldn’t speak. He said he thought he was being rude until filming for him wrapped and he told them why lol.
Make sense
It wasn’t until lyrics came along that he realized he was worth so much more than just sacrificing himself for everyone else, that he deserved to be truly happy.
And lyric wanted out of that life, they needed each other…
Yup.
@@curlycee4185Yup.
The southern accents in this movie are so bad, i laugh each time (I’m sorry) 😭.
They sounded like they were fresh off the plantation.
@@therealmarlonbellamy😂😂😂😂😂
I agree. 😂😂😂😂
@@therealmarlonbellamy😂😂😂😂
Mane we don't talk like dat down south!!😂😂😂😂 But the movie still 🔥🔥🔥🔥 classic 90s stereotypes about tha dirty trey😂😂😂
There's an internet theory that in the end, its a fever dream. neither one got out. She died and its him imagining a better life.
“It was all actually a coma/fever dream!” theories are as old as the internet itself
I refuse to accept that theory. It is just too heartbreaking. I like the idea that they both got a second chance in life to try again ❤
I think Lyric survived. I mean, people have been through worse. 🤷🏾♀️
I heard this theory about him imagining them both leaving but her actually not making it through years ago, however I believe she did in fact pull through and that last scene of them on the bus headed to Dallas actually happened. Reason being, if you look closely, you can see the bandage on her shoulder where he had sh*t her at. I highly doubt that would’ve been present if it was all in his imagination.
She got shot in the shoulder and had medical help immediately. She was fine. No way she died from that
“I never watched the sunset be-fo”
Same energy as
“Bruh man, upstairs, 5th floor”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I ain't neva really watch the suuun set bafo" 😂😂 That's always been my quotable of the movie.
Edit: I really think Josh was afraid of Jason leaving because Jason was the only one who hadn't given up on him completely. He knew Jason would still protect him, even from himself. That could by why even after shooting Lyric and Jason still chose her, without retaliating, Josh has a coming to grips moment. I think he thought about all the sacrifices Jason made for him and after commiting a horrible act on his brother's girlfriend, he knew he'd lost Jason forever and no one would ever have his back the way Jason would.
He sounded like he was fresh off the plantation. 🤣🤣🤣
@@therealmarlonbellamyStopppp 😭!
@@ParisFinley 🤣🤣🤣
Josh should've been a caterer.

And on a side note , Suzanne Douglas was so pretty. I was heart broken when she passed away . 😢
That one scene in the grass changed my life. Iykyk
Agreed. I rewatched this movie for the review and it was my first time seeing the grass scene uncensored...❤️❤️❤️❤️
Girrrl🥹need that!
Is the TV shop scene for me. Goodness
Jason was putting it DOWN in this movie lol. Josh was a lost cause for sure. His mother and brother did their best to help him, but he was settled in his ways.
Yup.
I think he was… I know Josh suffered the same trauma Jason did.. but you have to be an active participant in your own healing no matter how long it takes to move through it.. they’re both living proof of how they moved through it
Bokeem Woodbine bodied this role.🎭 I'm teary eyed, because I was Joshua. The dark black afflicted young boy. At the end point, Jason could no longer bandaid and save his brother. His love life was more important.
Jada was so beautiful she made the worst hairstyles work lol 😂😂
Was... 😂that's a fact, nowadays if I see her name I get angry it was different back in the day when she was a crush for every young man.
I spent too much of the movie trying to understand what exactly was happening on her head.
Sadly I know people like that right now. You got to let people go family or not got to cut ties with people who brings you down and never can move forward positively.
Yes totally agree with you I had to cut ties with my father many years ago because of his drug addiction
Exactly.
I always felt so bad for josh. As someone who has went through alot of trauma, it really rewires your brain in a way that can’t be explained unless you go through it. And sadly in the the 90’s therapy and medication were nowhere in sight. I have a suspicion if we were to categorize josh these days I’d say he has bpd and extreme ptsd
Bokeem Woodbine said in interviews that Josh suffered from manic/depression (bipolar disorder), so yes your guess is correct.
@@esjay-rh7wxwhich interview
Jason’s Lyric breakdown bout to be ALL the toxic Tea 🤣
He was most definitely a loss cause...he wanted his brother to live for him. No one can do that. He was selfish. No need for family like that
Yep he truly was sometimes you just have to let go of people
I love this movie, it’s the most realistic black love story I’ve ever seen. Not just romantic but a lesson of self love by putting yourself first. I’m really confused by that random dude ‘preaching,’ tho.
Your next review is Low Down Dirty Shame. 😆 The movies of the 90s were so underrated.
@@coreyrae0183 The 90s had a lot of hidden gems 💎.
Menace II Society was 1993. TBH this was also’s Suzanne’s year; The Inkwell and Jason’s Lyric
Bokeem Woodbine was in Crooklyn as well. It was also released in 1994.
Yup.
@@therealmarlonbellamyyup
This reminds me of my relationship with my baby brother. I’m pushing for a new and improved life, he’s chasing the street life. I wanna help him but it drags me in the process, so I decided to let him go because he won’t let the toxicity go, and I’m pulling to make a better life for myself

You can’t pour from an empty cup ! Don’t feel guilty or ashamed . His life and choices are not your responsibility or on you . Your both grown despite your upbringing and are more than capable of making your own choices . Move forward and win and remember even Jesus had to leave his family and even God told Abraham to leave his family to be great !
A low down dirty shame yasssss....I hope at the end of that video you bring up the tragic death of Jada's friend in the movie

Facts
One thing i love about these reviews is that it gets me to look at these movies in a different way as an adult. When i wss younger, i felt bad for joshua. I figured his childhood & jail made him who he was. Now i see him as becoming like his father (irony). That makes me feel that much more sad for jason.
I say that this movie is unique in the Southern hood setting and the story. I did like the performances of Jada Pinkett...Smith (before she got disliked). Allen Payne, and Bokeem Woodbine here, the backstory of the brothers is depressing and well developed with the show and tell of one of the brothers in the movie that was kept under wraps until it was ready to show what happened that fateful night when they were children at the start of the movie. I love this movie and can't believe I took this long to check it out, thanks, Tubi. Tubi is a lifesaver.
I'm from Louisiana, born and raised, and most people I meet are always shocked that I'm from the South because I don't have a southern accent lol
Me too. I used to think we had a southern accent in this state until I heard a woman say "Darling" in Alabama and it was the strongest southern accent I ever heard 😭
I’m from Louisiana, born and raised and when I travel everyone thinks I’m Jamaican, not Southern. It’s weird that our accent isn’t considered Southern when we’re deep in the South. We’re further south than Alabama
@@1_star_reviews I'm from Louisiana too. And I had people tell me that LA was more Midwest than Southern. I don't understand why. There's also multiple accents out there.
@@1_star_reviews I have a friend who has been one of my best friends since middle school. He has a very strong southern accent. Whenever he goes on coast to coast business trips across the US, he would sometimes get mistaken for an Australian haha.
@@90ejb Lmao Midwest??? We're literal deep south 😭😭😭 I never heard that one before
That's a tough situation to be in, and Lyric was very manipulative. She just wanted Jason to abandon everyone close to him and just up and leave, and when he explained to her his responsibilities as a son and brother, she made it all about herself. Even when her brother almost killed Josh, she blamed Jason for defending him, and didnt even mention the dirt her brother did and continued to do.
I always thought that like why would you break up with your man after he just broke down in front of you and explained his childhood trauma and leave because he doesn’t want to get on a bus..? Like..? Lol
@@WowitzkayI know right😅😅 That's what I didn't get either. Plus he didn't totally diss her and say that he wasn't never going to go. It was just bad timing, and she shouldve been more patient. The scene that gets me is when he met up with her after he fought her brother defending Josh, and he was trying to explain to her that his family needs him right now. She responds by saying, "No, I need you."
@@robertfranks665so you're saying Jason should have continued being taken advantage of by his brother? In the name of family needs me?
@@aesinam Before I answer that, how was Josh taking advantage of Jason?
@@robertfranks665 Josh didn’t want to have to let go of Jason so his brother can live his OWN life. Josh was being selfish, not wanting to work on himself in order to get his life together. He was used to Jason sacrificing everything for him, never doing the same for him in return. Had Jason not learned to start putting himself first and continuing to “save” Josh (who , tbh, didn’t wanna be saved), Jason would’ve eventually start resenting Josh. And that would’ve been even more detrimental to their brotherhood. Josh was a grown man who didn’t want to grow up.
One might think making love in a flower field would be nice and romantic, but then you remember all the bugs crawling around. And you gonna ruin the flowers lol.
But the vibeezz ✨️✨️
😂😂😂😂
Mosquitoes and “can’t seeums” (southerners, iykyk) biting on you…yeah, no thanks!! 😂😂😂
I watched this movie when I was an unsupervised child but I never knew the name! I just remember a few scarring scenes. I obviously didn't realise how frustrating Josh was. Who needs enemies when you have a sibling like Josh eh? Love your reviews ❤
I can totally see how Lyric fell in love with Jason...cuz lawd knows I would fold and Josh knew if Jason had somebody then he wouldn't be his safety blanket like he had been
“Soil all between the crevices” I was DONE 😂😂😂
I love when it's a Intimate scene comes up and that video of the girl dancing to the song pops up kills me every time ❤❤
Me too, I start laughing like it’s the first time I’ve seen it 😂😂😂
What's the name of it? I've heard it dozens of times but the stats are lost on me.

Answer to the hint:
"SHAME!!"
Cool review by the way.
this is one of my favorite movies i cried like a baby at the end because Jason really loved and was devoted to his family but when that devotion almost costed him the love of his life he made a choice and it was almost too late 😢😢😢
Jason and Lyric at the electronics shops, is one of the most steamy sex scenes in cinema.
He had a hairy booty. 😂😂 with hyperpigmentation. That’s all I remember from their intimate scenes

I want all parents to rethink the way you raise your kids. Your eldest children are not your second helpers. We are kids too. And we deserve to have a childhood just as much as any child. So when you adultify your eldest child just to take the load off yourself understand what you are doing to your kid and what grief you are giving them. Just Don’t have many kids or no kids at all if you scoop so low to adultifying a kid and stealing their childhood. If you can’t maintain then don’t do it, stop making kids suffer for what you can’t maintain. Also When you show your kids and unhealthy, dysfunctional, dynamic of relationships especially if it concerns both parents understand the trauma that brings to the kid. Kids are going through exactly what you are going through it’s so basic & simple and yet parents tend to ignore this notion. Stop adultifying kids, stop using hierarchy when it comes to kids each child deserves attention & time or you will miss things & they will have problems in life with you (they will hate you), themselves, others they will have a hard time acclimating in society. Emotional maturity & regulation is important to have when you have kids so you can teach them how to regulate emotions instead of scolding them for certain emotions being expressed & experienced. When you as an adult can’t even regulate yourself just imagine what that kid will faced with you & as they age. Kids don’t know & won’t ever know unless you be the guide you are supposed to be as a parent. You are a guide, not a dictator or owner not someone to look down on them or place a burden on them or bad title. Love is not ownership, hierarchy, possession nor control. Your kid will be the way they are because of your choices. When you notice mental health issues or signs of certain things that can’t be handled without professional help go get your child that professional help. Save that baby before they get older & it’s too late. Usually kids will show signs around 8 to 13 the time of puberty really. Sometimes even younger at the age of 6. Girls and boys deserve to be a child and kids can never be adults. Kids ain’t here to support you at all, it is the other way around. You are the gift that keeps on giving being the parent not your kid. When you have children understand the role you will have to take. It’s truly a selfless role many choose but can barely understand due to their selfish reasons. Kids don’t ask to be here and you can’t make them feel burdened ungrateful & responsible for your choice to have them. Tbh this is why so many don’t recommend raising a kid by oneself because it is not easy. And when you do it alone as a single parent you have to play both roles work & caregiver & it’s too much on one person and people tend to place their burdens on their kids. If you have a child & things don’t workout with the other parent lean into your village that’s your family & if your family is messed up & drowned in trauma as well then that’s no good too. Choose a accountable & responsible person in life to be your partner to have a kid with because it’s no easy feat raising a kid let alone more kids alone. Singledom in raising kids is not an easy thing & therefore it will be seen as a bad thing. Double edged sword life is isn’t it.
You are totally right children deserve to have a childhood filled with love and stability
Amen

Mine too!! Wished he would’ve just grew up and started being an adult already! Jason went through the same childhood drama, but made better decisions.
Bookeem woodbine is crazy or can’t catch a break in just about every movie lol 😂 dead presidents, Jason lyrics, caught up , strapped
Facts
Even in the music video for 2pac's "I aint mad at ya" lol
He's in that same category with Junior from Player's Club. Always a crazy villian.
I hate all his characters.
My roommate and I used to always laugh and repeat the “I ain’t never watch the sun set before “ line. 😂😂😂. Jason’s Texas accent sounded more like he just escaped from a plantation
I wouldn’t say Josh wasn’t “worth” saving, more so everyone can’t be saved.
Great review but as a Houstonian, I gotta make a correction lol. Gloria didn’t work at a supermarket, she worked at a fried chicken place named “Frenchy’s” which has several locations. I personally don’t care for it but It’s pretty popular out here, especially the one in 3rd Ward that’s located between 2 universities, TSU & UofH.
Great review! Siskel and Ebert mentioned the bad dark-skinned guy vs. the light-skinned guy on their TV review. It's also obvious in New Jack City.
I didn't care for this movie(I'm peculiar), but the lessons are evident. Josh did EVERYTHING he could to make EVERY terrible choice possible, no matter what the circumstances are. I can relate to Jason always trying to save someone who just doesn't listen nor appreciate any guidance and support.
It reminds of why childhood trauma healing is vitally important.
Jason did everything he could but the mon didn't.
I love how u brought up colorism
Colorism played a part in our favorite movies & shows.
Not sure that applies here

Jason's Lyric was a little too traumatizing to watch more than once
Don’t ever get rid of the “well, you know” portion. I always catch myself saying it with you 😂😂😂
This is one of favorite movies of all time especially “hood” movies. I’d give it almost a perfect score 9.5/10. I really enjoyed the ending when you find out that Jason actually was the brother that killed their father. This stuck with me because in the whole movie you presume Josh is messed up because he went through that trauma and killed their father. Finding out it was Jason was significant to me because it showed that some people are messed up no matter what- no excuses. I also loved the fact that it showed Jason went through the trauma of killing his father(when he had no choice) and still ended up a loving and conscious man. Love this movie!
I'm so glad you reviewed this movie! "Jason's Lyric" was one of my favorites when it came out for personal reasons. I had the biggest celebrity crush on Allen Payne and loved seeing him in his first lead role. I also grew up less than 2 hours away from Houston and was happy to see a movie filmed in my backyard so to speak.
Good review!! A low down dirty shame is next!!
Your 'Pop Up Video' pop ups really throws me back in time. Love your channel!❤
Im sooo ready for the next one. Its one of my fav movies! "Miss peaches.....Last time you got me Supa gurll" 🤣
Omggg yessss 😍😍😍 I’ve been waiting for this movie commentary for a minute now and it’s kinda funny cause I’m just about to watch it right now & this is about to be uploaded tomorrow omggg! Love it 🥰 Thank you so much sis 🙏🏾💕 I really appreciate you for this. One of my most fav Black love movies of all time. Love you ❤
You page is like a warm huge bringing back all my teenage movies. Thank you for what you do!!
So many families like this including mine can’t save everybody worry about yourself first.
My mom didn't want me to watch this in the 90's at 15 because she thought it was too much of a traumatic film to watch at a young age. Im so glad she did htis because as a late 20 year old I ended up watching it while I was in an abusive relationship. It was hard watching, even now its still a wild story
I can relate to this story. I chose to love and marry a troubled man. He had a lot of trauma in his life before I met him. I found out very quickly that love wasn't enough. We've been divorced for nearly two years. My second husband passed away from a drug overdose a month ago. This movie is still relevant today.
I wish mad dog would have got some sort of therapy after the Army. That post trauma is not something to cover up. It has to be dealt with. I think after service like that, post trauma therapy needs to he had, if they don't do that already
Yeah. Therapy wasn’t something everyone understood during this time, especially the black community.
@@buffytheinternetbullyslayerfacts
Watched this movie years back and it hit me so hard and triggered me about my own childhood trauma that I ignored. Love how in depth you go into analysing such movies. Especially about how certain complexions are put above others in black movies. Colorism is still a thing.
It's funny I had a conversation just a week ago about my regrets about pursuing my dreams and leaving my home town for 12 years and how my family has struggled but won't stop scapegoating me.
I'm the one who is most rational and helpful but cos the family is okay with the programming they got from the narc monarch, most are far gone and a female cousin of mine passed last year and had HIV and was a sex worker and left behind her 14 year old daughter. It's crazy, I still choose myself now because everytime I try and help, I get burned and I have let go completely.
Peace and love to everyone who is doing this life thing alone. ❤️
One of my favorites but so sad but is real life for some . I do think if this movie happened in current times Josh would of had a better chance Jason was his brother's keeper but him walking away was the right and needed move and i'm glad he got a happy ending. I was too young to watch this movie until i was alot older.
A very powerful movie. It’s a shame that it didn’t receive the proper accolades and acclaim that it deserved. I still have it on dvd after many years.
These reviews add sooo much fun to my relaxation Sundays!! Great review as always, Queen! As for the next review, cannot wait to hear about the iconic characters Peaches, Waymon, Angela, and Shame!!!!
I never thought I would sit back and enjoy someone reviewing movies I've seen and never seen but I love it 😂😂😂
You are amazing at reviewing movies, nice voice, great commentary. It feels good and the nostalgia is great.
What about Blue hill avenue as one of your movie reviews?
Lord have mercy this movie toxic af 😂
I relate to so many characters in this movie that it is hard for me to watch. Great analysis 👍🏽
I hate that I missed the premiere, but I’ll still comment and show love ❤ even though I haven’t seen this one
This movie bring me tears every single time.
Alan Payne was that dude. I just watched Blue Hill Avenue yesterday. Can you do that one?
Yass
Other than the accents this movie is a classic. It's a relatable story especially if you got toxic family members. The sad truth is you can love person with all heart but some need to be loved from afar or just cut off
A low down dirty shame is next... that was one of my favs growing up, I can't wait for that one.
Yes ma'am.
This movie gave generational trauma and curses. Jason and Lyric was razzle dazzling through all types of family dysfunction and tryna live right. Josh could cook though…with his crazy axx. On another note …Jason renting out a whole metro was cute…prolly why them heux’s never on time. Anywho loved the aesthetic of it all. As a Houstonian the accents was confusing though…I’m country but this gave East, Tx country. But yea …Josh was a willing crash test dummy….and Jason was tryna be his brothers keeper…but homie was too far gone. Sad
I think the next movie A low down dirty shame!!!! 😂❤ One of my all time favorite
You're right!
Your reviews are great!!! I love hearing your perspective at the end!! Keep up the good work girl !!❤
I didn't even know they celebrated June teenth back in the 90s wow😊
Juneteenth is a holiday most relevant to Texas, which is where this movie took place.
Ok so please don’t judge me,
I’ve never seen this movie but heard of it. I’ll put this on my list 😬.
Whew!!! The most reoccurring theme was PTSD. Both brothers had PTSD in some shape. Maybe not quite like their dad. Josh definitely had nothing to lose and nothing to gain. I felt for Jason who really tried to be the glue holding his family together and he like got overwhelmed by protecting his brother. I want to show love to Lisa Nicole Carson, especially with all that she’s been through outside of Hollywood for the past few years 💐. Lyric was good for Jason, you can tell they were destined to be together. You summed up my thoughts perfectly: you can’t help those who don’t want it. I live by this statement. Wonderful analysis 😊 as always. And thank you for stating that not all Southerners (me included) don’t always talk as you stated from the backwoods (even though you mentioned my home state).
As for the next review, all I’m going to say is ALDDS! Can’t wait to see it 🤗
You finally guessed one! You are back on it. No disrespect to Alabama, I promise.
@@forthenostalgia Yes! I was slippin heavy with the hints. And it’s all good hun 🤗 Much love from one Southern Belle to another ❤️
@@forthenostalgia I’m from Alabama
Whew, the accents!!! 😅😅😅
This film has one of the best Movies Soundtrack right next to the one with the Oldest Wayans Brother and The Basketball Feature with Tupac, Marlon, Leon, & Bernie Mac. 😆
Above the Rim.
If ever there was a "triggering" movie 😔
Yeah 😢
Thank you for this review ❤ and yes I relate to Jason so many levels and also lyrics as well of want more in life
I got caught up on all your videos & was like hold onnnn I need to click that bell asap!🙌🏼
You have to really go through this type of stuff to understand Josh. Yes his brother was always there for him but that wasn’t enough. He needed REAL help. And his mother gave up on him when she’s the reason they were messed up in the first place.
Gon say it (looks up) 😫ITS MAH LEG 😂😂😂
Also
🤬 NOT THE ROAST MOM I SPENT $25 ON THAT ROAST 🤣🤣🤣
You know how certain couples have that 1 partner that says the other partner made them want more out of life & never settle? Those are the success stories of those type of relationships. Then you hear the flipside. The stories of ppl breaking up cuz their partner was NEVER satisfied/ too ambitious and that person saying the other wasn't ambitious & too lackadaisical. It's a flip of the coin as to whether or not these types of relationships will stand the test of time cuz it truly is draining for both if expectations aren't met.
I loved this review! Really took me back to this movie that’s embedded in my life. I’ve always loved this film since I was a kid and it’s so true. You gotta live for you before you let someone else stop you from living. Can’t wait for “A Low Down Dirty Shame” in the next video! 😁. I immediately could call it because I grew up on this movie too!!! 😂😂 Shoutout to my mama!!! Lol Jada was in her bag and these movies were the catalyst of me being a fan since my childhood.
I love this movie, Jason's love for Lyric was real, i'm glad that he was able to push forward! ooh weeee treach yummmy yumm yummm!! Rip Josh, but he was out of line a lot and clearly jealous of how Jason was able to move forward with his life and he kept going in the pokey! Rip Suzy she actually passed on the same night that my son was born 7/6/21 I remember seeing it online after I'd just had a little human. What a great actress! I'll give this whole movie a good 9.5 out of 10

It's the Marge Simpson hairstyle. 😮
Jason’s Lyric……90s classic……still have the dvd and soundtrack to this day……true story:bought the dvd at fye music in the used dvds…..RIP Suzanne Douglas…..
The soundtrack was everything. I wrote a rap back then where I referenced it. 😂😂
