Someone suggested that Tyler Perry should re make this movie. Oh he'll no he shouldn't. Leave Ossie Davis' masterpiece alone. There are just some works that do not require Madea.
I am only in my early 20s and I love 70's movies. Too many to name on here but those were good movies with messages behind them. I love this movie and I am so glad I found it!
MAMA ROSIE WAS THE MOTHER IN THE ORIGINAL RAISIN IN THE SUN WITH RUBY DEE AND PORTIER. SHE W AS AMAZIN! I USED WISH THAT SHE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER FOR I NEVER KNEW ANY OF MY GRANDPARENTS.
I just gotta get this movie on dvd it is just too funny thanks for posting!!! I have it on vhs but not of good quality where can I buy it on dvd?Thanks a bunch!!
Thank you so much for posting this movie. I saw it a long time ago and now that I have seen it now....I had it ALL wrong. First of all, I thought that Leslie Uggams was all through the movie from begining to end. And I thought her afro was cropped and corse, not luscious like TC from Car Wash. I thought Leslie Uggams moved back in, she didn't. And I thought the two sisters lived at home, they don't. And I missed the whole grandmama in the kitchen part (mama from A Raisin in the Sun). Loved it.
Oh Wow! what a Classic GEM! Thankyou so much for posting this. I hope this is on dvd. I am going to get this and all of Dolemite dvds love the old classic Black Movies.
@jetit Hi Jetit, I too love this movie, it's my favorite. I was so glad when Brown posted it. It's a rare flick. But if you would like to add this to your collection, you can purchase it on Ebay. I did and mine came in the mail two days ago. It was only about $10, including shipping. I hope you can get a copy before the gone.
I am such a fan of this movie; I saw it as a child, but a few years back got to see it on cable, and fell in love with it! ok, the plot goes all over the place, but the idea is clear and I wish Ms Dee would put this, Purlie Victorious on dvd one year. just grace us with these movies.
They should do a remake Keke Palmer as Billie Jean Mo'nique as Moma Rosie Solange Noles as Norma Eva Pigford as Netta Raven Symone as Ruth Ann Lonette McKee as Netta's mother Blair Underwood as Earl John Amos as Herber Janet Dubois as Mu Dear any else has any ideas
@Michaelahol Good choices! however I want some new actors to come on the scene. See back in the day, each new movie release had an "...and introducing [insert new actor's name here]".... nowadays we see the exact same people in all the black movies. Look at Jumpin' the Broom. You know alla dem. and Madea's Happy family...YOU KNOW ALLA DEM...
This has got to be one of the baddest 70's movies ever made. Thanks for posting it. I love this movie. I first saw it on Encore about 15 years ago when they used to show a lot of 70's black films. I've been looking for it for the longest. Thanks for posting
@GrownFolksMusic Me too. I am 23 and I remember when I was little, getting my hair done and watching this. Saturday afternoon was a good time to watch movies.
this movie shouldve gotten an academy award
