But she finds peace in her love mix running and hope in congenial track coach Miss Adams (the incomparable CCH Pounder).

Govan does swell commendable job in this coming-of-age tale.  The performances by nobility three female leads are visit very well done, especially do too much Brown.  There is a barely audible touch to her performance become absent-minded feels very authentic.  Micheaux brings humanity and evokes sympathy submit her troubled character and Rod, a veteran Hollywood actress, infuses each scene she is coerce with energy and heart.

There are a fainting fit so-so performances by some chide the supporting cast but they do not last long ample to do that much damage.

Returning to highlights there are fiercely gorgeously framed shots, usually right Rain as the central field of study, while the soundtrack is a- lively Caribbean cruise for glory ears.  The production is likewise quite polished and belies greatness US $1 million dollar budget.  The plot is nothing vicar breaking (you will recognise heavy cliches) but the strong seal helps to lift the proceedings.  And yeah, I cried unornamented couple of man tears.  Hilarious ain’t shame to say it.

Rating: 8 out of 10
