Yesss! So many wonderful black movies from back in the day are being erased nowadays. I cherish this channel and a few others that keep it alive!

[@barrettlovett2238]

This movie was loaded with sitcom all stars.

[@BrownsvilleBaby_Est]

Glad I found a movie to watch this movie..I was six in '97,so this my first time seeing this movie ..Anything with Pam Grier is a classic Shoutout to the Cuh Tone Loc

[@nlee4566]

Tone Loc was in so much 90s stuff it’s crazy.

[@lolabunny1157]

I’m surprised you didn’t come across this growing up they use to play the reruns years later.

[@shad0wMata]

Holy shit!! They used to play this on USA back in the 90s so much!!! USA had a sick ass rotation for random movies ever. Too bad it's all cop shows these days. I remember spending one Saturday glued to it cuz they showed "Friday" at 8am, "The Breaks" at 11am, "Trippin" at 1pm, "Players Club" at 3pm, this movie at 6pm and "they premiered "Next Friday" at 8pm. Had to record it on a vhs lol. If you were a teen in 2000, USA was a problem. Love this upload!

[@707whiteboy1]

hell yeah. Remember USA Up ALL NIGHT, would play cheesy 80s comedy late night and American Gladiators in the day :)

Man this is an amazing movie. I wish we lived in a world like this. I just watched "The Wanderers" a white movie from the 70s and was thoroughly unimpressed and quiet disturbed by the innuendo and amount of comments supporting it whilst a movie like this goes unnoticed.

Was a good positive movie..is just i thought at some point the parents would tell about adoption or at least for there to be a way to let the audience know whether he knows or not ...but im glad there was a change over part to the movie were most of the people that were negative towards other culture slowly started to change and accept different people is a good thing to see
