I liked John Stamos a lot on "Full House" (in fact, he was the reason I started watching the show in the first place). He was in several other scenes, but he lived up to the promise of this film. I can't blame the writing, because Sidney Poitier played the role, and we all know he would have done a magnificent job with it. He was good, but almost always so bitter. Sean Combs didn't quite give the impression of quality that ABC had led me to expect. Sean Patrick Thomas did a good job showing another side of black culture in the 1950s most blacks did not have money, and despite having dark skin, he seemed out of touch with the problems of his race, quite content with life. Perhaps that means she was doing everything right. Not to take anything away from her performance, but Sanaa Lathan just got on my nerves. David Oyelowo showed so much passion for his heritage and for teaching the woman he cared about to have the same passion. Audra McDonald also did a very good job, and she was quite good-looking even here, with such a nice smile. Up until now, she has played attractive, young-looking women who could have been any ethnic group but happened to be dark-skinned. I had to look closely to make sure it was actually her. It's the first time I ever saw her play a truly black character. She was outstanding, showing so much emotion when the time came to do it. Phylicia Rashad will surely be mentioned at Emmy time. The characters are strong and have values, but the question is how much will circumstances cause them to question those values.

For the most part, this movie came across as the quality production ABC told us it was. But the people next door to the house she finds are all white and don't want blacks moving in. Lena sees a great opportunity to move into a better neighborhood. Imagine how that will go over with his devout Christian mother. She is in college now, and she has two potential romantic partners-George, who comes from a rich family and is about as black as Carlton Banks, and language professor Joseph Asagai, who wants to teach Beneatha about Africa. What is the best way to spend the insurance money? Beneatha could use it to go to medical school. Travis sleeps on the couch in the living room. Walter's sister Beneatha also lives with them, sharing a room with her mother. Walter's wife Ruth does people's laundry and raises their son Travis. Walter's mother Lena works as a maid and is loved by the little girl she cares for, but she can quit that job now since she is getting a $10,000 life insurance check after the death of her husband. He is tired of "Yassir" and "Nossir" and wants to start his own business with friends Bobo and Willy. Walter works as a chauffeur for a white family that doesn't seem to acknowledge him as a human being. In 1959 Chicago, the Younger family lives in a small apartment with cockroaches and other problems, although they have done their best to make it look nice.
