The first 30 mins of this movie, you might end-up praying that the friend you dragged to see the movie, doesnt dose off, but thats about all the praying you will do throughout the movie. It is amazing to see how it builds up, how they start of with slightly dull characters and bring it to life by introducing the soul of the film - Minny. When she comes in with her you cant mess with me, combined with heart of a kid, the movie takes flight. You learn something about how to tell a good story from this film, how to present the plainest layer first and then peal it down to show you all the colours possible. Like a beautiful cake, but its beauty lies inside out. Many reviewers of this movie felt it didnt address the civil rights issue, that it was too happy a film, but I say those people are idiots. This film never looses the plot, doesnt try to be a historical film, doesnt try to get confused with out and out bravery. It shows a subtle bravery and never looses the focus from the stories of the women in the film. It will make you laugh, it will make you clap and most importantly, you will come out with tears of joy.
Verdict: Bloody Brilliant!
