The Wood

A little slow in parts but there are some funny and poignant moments

Sweet and well acted.

this movie is a must see. a childhood favorite

A coming of age tale of three lifelong childhood friends and the trial and tribulations of growing up black in Inglewood, Los Angeles California. Mike, Slim & Roland have been best of friends since Junior high and now all grown up it's the night before Roland's wedding and he has a case of cold feet. As Mike & Slim attempt to sober Roland up and get his wits about him back before making a mistake. Through flashbacks the three look back on the key moments of their lives and what moments helped them grow from boys to the men we see before us now. Touching on all the common experiences most of us all went through one way or another growing up and how those discoveries helped build you in the person you've grown to be. Heartfelt moments and hilarious situations are to be held by all, big reason why this film will always have a place in my heart as it resonates with me so well.

actually not bad for a late '90's drama/comedy. They went back and forth from past to present effectively so it didn't get annoying.

Great coming of age story. Great production and acting. We need more movies like this, especially for Black audiences.

This movie has so much heart and very good use of nostalgia. I love it and it's a classic.

Is this comedy or romance? Long story short... Only one race can appreciate the entertainment of this story.

Love this movie I hope they release it on blue ray soon.

Famuyiwa's style is his own and he crafts your basic coming-of-age story brought to life by realism and great characters.
