you can spend holidays which grandparents school
he don't even know the I'm just thinking about what's best for you
I guess what the what the flick then maker which Matt actually a lot
literally could be with us he is stuck in the
Barack Obama traffic in los angeles takes a bomber
yeah way to go on which which is tough because
he seen the movies and you have it yep that's gonna put it in a little bit with
my dear
I was gonna sit in for the review we're gonna have now a black Nativity
I a lot of thought and an outside but as we said
what does not hear his chair been dissecting
he hates Christmas creates by people up
well alright so a duck it's great hello crisper I
I alright so black Nativity is
at more loosely based on the play by waste abuse or at least that's
the inspiration for the story there's a surrounding story about a kid named
langston
I named for the poet who get shuffled shuttled off from Baltimore where he
lives with a single Bob
to go live with his grandparents at christmastime had
in New York I because they don't have any money in Baltimore
and he needs to go someplace where he'd like to get kicked out on the street I B
while his grandfather was a preacher is putting on his
in your black Nativity show at the church
hands drama ensues let's watch the trailer
Assyrian Church tonight achieved
as for me I my house
week bricolage day
we are mindful for the needs this you piece you need guidance
was simply a built to hold his loose-fitting pants
up in a very good cast yes
yeah and they're good right yeah everybody's pretty good a mystery is
pretty good up for Twitter & World acid
I and Jennifer Hudson I Tyrese Gibson
I what about like Mary J Blige partnership watches in Syria
and theirs and it went very very white here and there's music
ministry it is a beautiful music relative its own musical
I don't let the music works that well I think the story
this would you know we really be a better movie if the musical numbers work
put in here I think the music
is the weak spot I can say that about so yes
that I think that's the case I but I felt like
the drama this story about the
you know there's there's been a falling out to the past between
Jennifer hudson's character and especially her father
played by forest whitaker haven't spoken in 15 years
a cheese she take she was pregnant she goes off with her
sign to live in Baltimore you find out
you know whether or not they're going to actually
be able to reconcile it doesn't this movie doesn't go with obvious directions
about whether other families to reconcile
I i think it does some interesting things ads
mistakes were made on all sides which i think is true to the way
family arguments go right like well thanks we'll see one person who
plays the role the prodigal son who you know who's the jerk because of
and everybody else for families like loving like I'll come back we're just so
happy you're back
this one like everybody's kind of a jerk or at least in about 15 years ago
everybody made mistakes and I think that the movie does a good job love
playing the reality of that but cut the songs are kinda rough
like it I don't think they're bad they just don't don't
had much too early stands for better songs like amy is it
is it like Chicago where the song take place inside her head
which I like to which made it be a little for me or
is it part a story they break out in song or is it just like
songs that are there is part of the in rehearsal for the show were both happy
its kind about
I think that you're supposed to think that they're mostly in in the kids had
langston had that's the way the movie mostly place at like this one part where
you know it's its a Christmas Eve
he's listening to the server they're putting all the black Nativity at
the church that would occur is the pastor of and the kiddos is off
and he has this long extended dream sequence that's a bunch musical numbers
or two or three musical numbers and so it kinda feeds into
what you're talking about words like a solid somebody said there's a bit of
that here
but not that much it goes back and forth so the tone is kinda all over the place
up again I think the songs are execute okay to just
that great they're not they're not show-stopping numbers
they've got kinda be a
tragic it kinda subdued level of energy
and they're all kinda like that like there's no big
numbers that really get you up and get you going on
just directed by by Casey levin's Karen lemons
Julia a did talk to me on
I treatment was a really good movie yet she
played are delia map
to aside Jodie Foster's
friend right in the south the last the other the other agent in a big part
sounds all as but she started their
throughout africa is by you right right cherokees by to yet
on but I didn't put it together that that was she
you know and that for whatever reason that role as you know I
even though she's not a big parts of the Lambs that too that you clearly sorta
bounces ideas of
right but throughout the movie she's there throughout and
so I'm super pleased by yet we'll get to that
this is a terrible movie it's just I think it's not as
you know again I think the turning this into a musical some what
dials down what its potential is
I think that outsider that I think that the family you know the efforts toward
reconciling this family and
looking at a family dynamic were clear
you know as I said before mistakes are made on all sides that's interested
I think they do that really well but I think that the songs kinda
poll the story back a little bit but you know by the same token
you really good you know yes its current out of nowhere but
Tyrese Gibson doesn't really good a
recitation of the dream deferred: Paul you to
yeah great right that's great so there's some really nice little moments in here
I mean all truly I would say that this is a genius but we both
terrible i'd give it probably better sex I'll solicit
for Tom do you think that the Casey levin's
and Jodie Foster our friends like there in that movie they're both directors now
attention if they call each other patient bodies they should be got one to
one thing I have lunch
maybe I like to think they are okay arm alright so that the
sex obviously for provide
