I saw this film as part of an hour-long program called "African-American Short Films" on the My Network station.
Mack never seems to have enough money to buy what he wants, and while he smokes, he doesn't want to buy an entire pack of cigarettes. I'm not sure what the significance is of the Newport pack he drops, but it seems to have something important in it.
After years of being absent, Mack wants to get to know his son Andre. His birthday is next Tuesday, but Mack wants to celebrate today. Andre's mother Michelle would prefer he not have anything to do with the boy, because Mack will just disappoint him. Mack finally convinces her to let Andre spend time with him.
The two get to know each other, but just as Andre expects, Mack will do something to disappoint him. At least the two get to know each other better, and there are some sweet scenes with other families with children in the neighborhood.
This is a good film for its length. Both leading actors do capable jobs, and there are several good supporting players in the scenes around the neighborhood.
