Title: What's it all about?
Review: I had high hopes for this movie, but was disappointed in finding a wandering minstrel. Who was the hero? What was the story? Where was it going, and did it ever arrive? I was so bored I fast-forwarded through many of the musical numbers, and would have fast-forwarded through the rest, but I kept hoping I'd figure it out. I never did. Of course, it is possible that I finally got so bored that I fast-forwarded to the end and totally missed the point, but I don't think so. For a film that had so much potential to be really good, this was a bummer. In my opinion. And this has nothing to do with race. I love a movie where ordinary or extraordinary blacks overcome white-supremacist obstacles and rise to heights not formerly expected of them. But this film left me feeling cheated. Sorry. I really, really wanted to be in the cheering squad, and I found myself hissing instead. What went wrong?
