Somebodies (2006)
Fresh and funny look at college life in the South
Just saw the Sundance movie 'Somebodies' .... much better than your average 'college' movie ... wickedly humorous and insightful look at coming of age for a young black dude at a college in Georgia. Some really funny scenes, some great lines and cool acting .... true independent but nicely photographed. Underneath the comedy is a serious story of a bunch of 20 somethings trying to find their way in a screwed up world. The main character Scottie is portrayed as a guy in the middle - not a saint or a gangsta ... just you're average guy trying to hang out, make out and stay out of trouble. Of course, it takes a strong headed young woman to really sort him out. If you're white and middle class, you should see this movie - it'll give you a fresh perspective and make you laugh. If you're black and middle class, you should definitely see this movie - it'll strike a chord and make you laugh until you cry.
