    AHHHHH! i’ve been wondering what ever happened to that puerto rican guy from coach carter! he’s so handsome now! and of course, the guys from ‘city guys’ and ‘one on one’ are still as fine as ever. idk who that other guy is, but he’s lookin good, too. now i need to go research what this show (or movie?) is going to be about.

    I enjoyed the scenes w/sneaker retailer. The “SR” is like a drug that he can’t release himself from until that one dreadful day when he oust his support money on sneakers he should not have purchased. The dad keeps returning to “sneaker retailer” and purchases high end labeled sneakers instead of paying child support or putting food in the mouths of his babies. When I saw these scenes I thought how true. Similar scenes in regards to purchasing items out of one’s means resignated to me also. I thought Oh! the reverse roles are being played out here in scenes…brilliant! See God don’t like ugly. Any whoa, the dad’s awakening, when muggers notice his high-end style and rob’s him in front of his kids and leave them stranded. A very intense and sometimes often scene in urban neighborhoods was a scary and morbidly intense realization to life. Although in life sometimes that particular scene the dad does not walk away w/kids but I’m glad you put a positive spin on it. In the end the dad realized that…one should not put a price value on their children because they’re priceless and returned all purchased sneakers to sneaker retailer. All the character roles played a high intense life structure to realism and I commend the director for his concept and portrayal of movie.
