I saw it at the Malco Majestic, which is up the street from my house. Cool theatre, but a lot of knuckleheads go there and they've had a lot of car breakins since I've lived here. This means it was the perfect place to see the flick.
Here's a link to all of the hidden Memphis references:

The singer was Jennifer Bynum, a local gospel singer. I think she sings at Al Green's church.
The song playing at the beginning of the movie was Buddy Guy's "Please Don't Leave" from his last album (I think).
Everybody I talked to locally loved the flick, but my boy at the gym was saying the accents were "too country". Not being from here originally, I had to argue with him and tell him that he sounds like that his damn self.
There's also been a lot of backlash like this column that I referrred to in my review above.

This chick also wrote a column a couple of weeks ago that dissed Good Times as "a negative portrayal of black men". I'll post it if I can find it. It was unintentionally hilarious.

"...most sistahs only recognize a good man when he's a character in a shitty movie, a shitty play, their favorite daytime soap or a shitty book written by a homosexual."
