85564, I have a love/hate relationship with "tales from the hood" films

The characters can fall into unbearable stereotypes with the quickness. And this one definitely slipped into hood caricatures from the beginning. There wasn't an ounce of natural connection between the actors and the dialogue. It was like everyone went to Black Acting School a week before filming.
