Too many unintentionally funny moments


Saved by the acting and deeper themes.

Some of the funny moments (her vampire conversation with the social worker, the insect/incest thing, everything involving Joann) were more like comic relief than accidental hilarity. It's a dark show and would be too heavy without some laughter-inducing incidents.

When the girks were popping at the party and Lenny Kravitz character was lije "Ahh, no"

I cracked up when Consuela tried to light a cigarette & Ms. Rain takes it from her.

When she runs out with the bucket of chicken and the restaurant worker yells out, "Stop that big bitch!"

when Mary told her sob story to the social worker (Mariah Carey) and mentioned that she "shut her Fat a$$ up" b/c the husband told her to.

I couldve done without the comedy, and the gang of girls in the classroom, especially the high and mighty one that laughs at everything.

I related to this too. I had been in special ed and this is how these types of classrooms work. People of different abilities are together for a subject matter. We bonded like a 'family' over the course of a year because we knew we had several odds against us.

I hear ya, but those scenes just didnt fit right with the film.

reply

See I thought it did--otherwise the film would have been her just getting beaten down. The classroom was part of her support system.

reply

I would have liked the scenes better if the characters in her classroom werent so animated. It felt a bit forced. Otherwise the film was good, but not as great as I expected. This was her break out role, and well deserved.
