Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929632/

I usually don't watch "black woman" movies; not because I'm racist, it's because I don't connect with the characters as much as an actual black woman would, and thus won't enjoy the movie. I can't even remember the last "black woman" movie I watched. I even IMDB'ed "Angela Bassett" looking for a movie I've seen her in. Was this movie really a "black woman" movie? Not really, but I think some people will categorize it as one because the main characters are black women. I started this movie at 11pm at night, and 9 out of 10 times, I'm going to fall asleep during ANY movie at this time. However, this movie was so mesmerizing and so great that I actually wanted more at the end. The movie is about a 16 year old black girl who lives in Harlem and struggles with life, school, family, etc. You name it, she's struggling with it. After watching this movie, you should appreciate that you weren't born into an environment like hers and be grateful for what you have. Highly recommended!
