ATL (2006)
Expected a LOT better
In having some sweet hookups, I was fortunate enough to attend the official premiere of this movie last week. I was unfortunate enough to have sat through this entire movie.
Being born and raised here in Atlanta, I've been psyched to see this movie ever since I first saw advertisements for it on television. What a let down. At first the movie seemed promising, capturing southern charm and portraying local famous spots of the city (the fox theater, the waffle house, etc). Then the movie turned sour. I felt as if it made Atlanta seem like a trap and made the people of the city seem ghetto (and annoying!). Being from a town 5 miles west of Mechanicsville (where this movie takes place) I was offended. It turned out to be one of those typical "black man trying to make it out of the hood" movies....sick of it already!
The only good part about me seeing this movie was that it was for free. If I had wasted my hard earned cash on this flick, I would've been angry.
