Synopsis

Greg is near the end of his senior year in high school, wanting to go to the prom, eyeing Cinny (the school's beauty with brains) from afar, and regularly trippin', daydreaming about being a big success as a poet, a student, a lover. His mom wants him to apply to colleges, but Greg hasn't a clue. One of his teachers, Mr. Shapic, tries to inspire him, too. He finally figures out he can get close to Cinny if he asks her for help with college applications. But friendship isn't enough, he wants romance and a prom date. So, he tells a few lies and, for awhile, it seems to be working. Then, things fall apart and Greg has to figure out how to put the trippin aside and get real.

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
SMLA11 This is a really funny movie. The acting of stars such as Donald Faison, Deon Richmond, and Guy Torry help this film alot. the best parts are the dream sequences. Now that's funny. I would recommend this movie to ghetto comedy or just comedy.Overall the movie is funny and people should lighten up on what they think. Rating 9 out of 10.
michellejenni49 This is one of my favourite comedies even though it is a little more low budget than most. I enjoyed it because of the hilarious characters in the movie like the grandfather, and Greg himself, also Greg's daydreaming scenes are hilarious. I found it to have a realistic portrayal of African American families,unlike some movies and tv shows that display black families differently and wrongly. This is another reason why I enjoyed the movie, I could relate to a lot of the characters in the movie and everybody was simple and down to earth. I will never get tired of watching this movie, it is great. It is not a comedy for everyone, that's for sure. To really enjoy this movie you would probably have to be able to relate to the characters, if not you won't find the humour in it. For a low budget movie, it is really funny!
xLeroyx This movie is truly funny, not a waste of time or overladen with cheese. There are horrible cliches in the plot and a totally worthless subplot but they don't drag on too long. The main character played 'Bud' on the Cosby Show way back in the day. There are a ton of laugh out loud jokes. The dream sequences are hilarious, especially the army dream, and the women in this movie are gorgeous and all that good stuff. Rent this bad boy and watch it with friends. If you're a pimp, watch it with your hoes.
Leroy-13 A classic high school film in the mold of the John Hughes pics from the '80s. Decent story aided by good performances and some great jokes. You'll never look at fried eggs the same way again. Load granddad up with pork and enjoy.
