Wonderful Movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Rated R for Language and Some Sexuality The Wood is a pretty unknown film starring Omar Epps and Taye Diggs.The film is in two parts and the film goes back and forth between the two parts.The first part is about a man who has cold feet on his wedding day, so his two childhood friends go looking for him, find him and try talking him into marrying the girl.While doing so, they reminisce about their childhood and how they met.This second part of the film is basically a coming of age teen film which can be compared to the 1978 Isreali film Lemon Popsicle.Both films have funny sexual situations involving teenagers and a good amount of drama and romance as well.The film is very funny in parts but also has a lot of heart.Its a pretty unknown film but if you can find it, watch it, its a very good film.

The movie is about friendship, three guys Slim, Mike and Roland, and how this friendship evolves from being a friendship consisting of three boys, to a friendship consisting of three men. In the movie you follow Roland who is about to get married, and he is getting cold feet, his two friends Mike and Slim are there to try and get him out of the trouble he has caused for himself.The movie works in 2 different time tables, one where they are boys and one where they are men, you see them meet and evolve their friendship, and see how they became so close friends. A brilliant way to make you feel the passion between these three friends, a very touching movie, as I write this I'm still touched by the ending.The acting is ranging from average to strong, I especially like Omar Epps acting, a very good actor indeed.In my opinion definitely worth a watch, do however not expect Oscar performance, since the actors are not Oscar material in my opinion.rated 7,5/10 (would give it 7, but added 0,5 because it touched me so much)

I never really had an interest seeing this movie because so many African American's movie's seem to lack originality. I just happen to see it on television and decided to watch it. I was quite impressed. It was good to see that this movie is something men and women of all races can relate too. I'm glad they didn't get too strong into the violence and drugs associated with Inglewood. I was a little worried about it's similarity to American Pie's theme, about young teen boys in competition to lose their virginity's, but it was only a part of the story's theme. The point was for us to get a good idea what it was like growing up in their world(as many can relate to). Also, the chemistry between the grown up cast was very believable. I wouldn't say this was a powerfully scripted movie, but it was entertaining. I will go out and buy this DVD.

The Wood is one of the best films aimed at afrcian amercians ever made. The film about friendship between three friends is amazing. Taye Diggs, Omar Epps and Richard T. Jackson are all top notch. The soundtrack repsents the eighties very well and the film has very little violence. This is a movie that any group of guy friends can enjoy.
