Sassy, in-your-face account of an intelligent, flippant Brooklyn girl who lives in the projects and dreams of college. Ariyan Johnson is captivating as the teen with attitude and a brain, but she cannot decide which should guide her. She wants a better life but finds herself taking a very hard road. First-time writer/director Leslie Harris put together a sharp, realistic, very funny account of life for a young black woman. It is rough around the edges, however, and is definitely hampered by the minuscule budget. This may not always be pretty, but it is consistently interesting. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Great movies for teenage girls!.......2007-08-01

I bought this movie for my Niece and her best friend who are teenagers just starting in the dating world. This movie shows you the effects of growing up in a inner city too fast.

TOUCHING AND INSPIRING MOVIE!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-11

Do not buy this movie unless you are ready for a deep moving documentary! My mom rented this movie for me one night several years ago when I was a teenager living in NY. After viewing the movie I quickly ordered it from Blockbuster on VHS. I cried several times while watching this movie not because it's sad but because it touched me. It had everything a good movie should have laughter, sadness, excitement, happiness and most importantly LOVE! I give this movie 10 stars!!! :) I can't wait to buy this movie on DVD! It is a very inspiring story and there is never a dull moment. It is a very well done independent film that speaks to anyone who has gone through any kind of struggles in life. This movie is about achieving your dreams and reaching your goals despite hurdles and mountains that come in your way. It also shows growth and maturity in the life of a young woman. I highly recommend this movie to everyone especially youth and teens.

great movie.......2006-04-15

I first saw this movie 10 years ago, I was happy to see it made it to dvd. This a great movie to watch with your teenagers. To bad there aren't more movies like this one. Chantel was a typical teenager who had alot of dreams to become a doctor but she got pregnant. This movie really sends a message to parents with young daughter Chantel's age. We really need to talk to our children, instead of young girls doing what Chantel did they can go to there parents to talk about it.
