Movie was enjoyable and it was fun to see cats like Lenny (funk album soon buddy?), Mariah, and Robin Williams show up in big roles

And Forest and Oprah were great

And some of Lee's ironic music cue choices were inspired

But the shit where the son JUST HAPPENED to be in the vicinity of major civil rights events was kinda annoying

And I did see a piece somewhere where the movie is taken to task for demonizing the son's choice of joining up with the Black Panthers and the "bitch" (Oprah's words) whom he fell in love with

That was weird

Otherwise, it was fine
