George Tillman, Jr.'s semi-autobiographical account of the black experience in the middle-class Midwest. As artless as it is earnest (with too much play-by-play and analysis from its small-fry narrator), but it at least enters African-American cuisine into the current trend of food films: The Big Night, Eat Drink Man Woman, Like Water for Chocolate, et al. With Vanessa L. Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Nia Long, Michael Beach, Mekhi Phifer, Gina Ravera, Brandon Hammond, and Irma P. Hall. (1997) — Duncan Shepherd
