I didn't have high expectations for ATL when I went to see it on it's opening day. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The script was obviously very well written with very different, colorful, lively characters. Tip "T.I." Harris and "Big Boi", rappers turned actors, weren't unbearable to watch. Newcomer, Evan Ross Naess, also portrayed his character well.
ATL's story line was a bit questionable in some parts with subplots that might have been a little unnecessary, like Rashad's ex-girlfriend in the movie. The middle of the movie let itself fall down a little bit, but it quickly regained itself. The scenes inside the skating rink lasted a little too long in some parts and the scene towards the end was a bit flawed. However-- enough with the nit-picky stuff. ATL was humorous at some points, sad in others, and maybe even a little moving.
Bottom Line: Go on and give this one a try.
