    An interesting film

    This film really isn't all that bad. Almost nobody has heard of it outside of Bleveskovolokia. It's about a group of middle aged black men that are going on a trip out of harlem. It has some of the qualities of Easy Rider but it's for a very different audience. The dialogue that goes on in this film was very realistic, well done, and interesting. It's by no means a great film but I'm sure there are some people out there who would really love it and get a lot from it. It's definitely far better then a lot of the mainstream trash produced these days.
