    It's a beauty--in many ways richer than the Broadway production--and should not be missed.

    Combs does a great, great job--especially for someone who isn't known as an actor. And the rest of this cast glows. Don't miss it--and don't let your kids miss it either.
  3. The play, and the production, might have been better served by rolling a few cameras into the theater, but I know that isn't how people like to do these things.

    I have read the book for this play and the movie is just as good if not better than the play. it shows how racism and the hardships of people can be overcome by staying together as a family. This is a must watch movie Expand

    This was easily the best production I've seen on commercial television in years. I know it was risky and I certainly hope it was worth the risk to ABC and the advertisers. It was way worth it to me. Expand

    All the women and other supporting actors were great! The lead actor P diddy or puffy combs was extremely difficult to watch. He needs some acting lessons. Expand
