HIDDEN GEM!
I did not know Tami Roman(lead woman) was that great of an actor! Given her background, I can see why she would be a perfect fit for that role. She's had to come up and through some incredibly difficult times all while keeping her head held high. The men were amazing as well. I don't know names but I know these guys have some true blue talent. 5 Stars!

EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!
I bought the movie over nine months ago and finally watched the movie recently. The movie was fantastic! It captivated my attention from beginning to end. TODD WILLIAMS had my complete, undivided attention. He is some kinna finnnnnnne!!! In addition to that, I loved the intelligence, the strength and the ambition that he brought to his character. When a man reaches his emotional threshold, the result can be quite devastating. MR WILLIAMS' character shattered me at the end, because it was so unexpected. Brilliant work! Darrin Dewitt Hensen truly expanded his range in this particular acting role. I believe that most Black men actors would not step to the challenge in playing the particular role which Mr. Hensen took upon. Mr. Hensen reminds me of Vingh Rhames--a man who is comfortable and at home with himself. I loved the movie so much that I ended up buying three more copies to share with family and friends. This movie is definitely a must see. Before I forget, Tami Roman ROCKED IT! I LOVE THAT GIRL!

Descent movie
I don't know if this is Russ Par's first film, however I am impressed. I found this to be a pretty descent movie with a great cast. This movie takes you through, what I suspect, the many roads that comedians and aspiring actors/actresses can end up taking and experience filled with the good and mostly the bad. Just like the movie says, it is about the drama behind comedy. What I liked best was how the movie showed the characters' pasts and what brought them to doing comedy. I also liked the dose of harsh reality given to show that the path to success in Hollywood is not easy and it can be a tough grind that not everyone will endure to the end. I would recommend this film.

Good One by Russ Parr!
Really liked this movie, love the actors in it! Good acting job by comedians who are showing they can act in serious roles. Good story line; gives insight into the behind-the-scenes personal lives of comedians and the pressure, struggles & sacrifices they endure as they strive for the title of "Stand Up Comedian."

Actually well-written and serious drama
I expected this to be a documentary for some reason, but it was a pretty serious drama. Once I realized that this was actually a "movie" I assumed it would be pretty bad since most movies of this type are. But it actually turned out to be quite well written and a little crazy at times. It held my interest for the entire time and I think it was about 2 hours long.

Good Movie
A realistic and hard hitting movie about 4 aspiring young blacks trying to break into comedy/acting. The cast was great and did a good job.One of the situations was something I had not expected: There is a black couple in the film and the brotha is trying to pursue his dream...but gets resistence from his wife...because she DID NOT want him to SUCCEED! The way the situation ends--does not make one feel good.The writer/director, Russ Parr, said the characters and situations were based off actual past events.Its worth a view!
