DVD Reviews of All About Us
DVD Review: Could've Been So Good... But Wasn't.
Summary: 2 Stars
So this movie had so many things going for it, I tried so hard to like it. Good looking leads with good chemistry. Touching portrayal of creative Black people. (PLUS.) Realistic portrayal of family/domestic life (PLUS!). Even the classic, Rocky-style, striving-to-make-your-dreams-come-true-against-all-odds formula (being a creative type, that earns a DOUBLE PLUS!).
So why didn't I like it?
It was TOO SLOW... and TOO SERIOUS.
In a film this serious, a little levity, well executed, goes a LONG way. Unfortunately, this film was practically devoid of levity. There were plenty of opportunities for humorous or light interludes that could've brightened up the tone of the film, but most of those were unexplored, and the one place that could've been funny was the scene with the cousins, and even that gag took way too long.
Also, even though I thought much of the dialogue was spot-on in terms of capturing a realistic marriage dynamic, there were several instances of clunky exposition that violated one of the first rules of screenwriting, which is "show, don't tell."
