'everybody gotta have a dream'

This film is about second and third chances, the power of dreaming and the need to express yourself. With music that comes up from the sweaty streets of Memphis, and populated by people who surprise and keep you guessing, this is a movie worth seeing and one to remember.

And now that it is on DVD, watch the features, because they present a story as fascinating as the film. It is a story of guts and perseverance that seems to have been a cinderella tale for all involved.

This Terrence Howard is going to get men wearing undershirts again, like Clark Gable got them to take them off in the classic It Happened One Night. That's a good-lookin' look.
