Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 20 Funny in 1 hour and 52 minutes. Rated PG-13. The worldwide gross is $13,600,000.00, less than the budget of $14,000,000.00.

The techniques which were innovated in some scenes of this movie have never been truly emulated, and the story is a wholesome tale of family values and the beauty of life which reaches in hard times throughout humanity. The performances are well done, and it transcends boundaries of social equality and the personal journeys of life. It's a truly touching story about a big family growing up in Brooklyn. What it takes away from "Do the Right Thing," and leaves in place from Spike Lee's repertoire strengthens the movie's message.

I own this so every chance I get I watch it when I needs a good laugh or cry. See more Dave S @RT68722908 06/06/2024 In what is probably writer/director Spike Lee’s most personal effort, Crooklyn tells the story of the Carmichael family in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn in the summer of 1973. Alfre Woodard and Delroy Lindo play the beleaguered parents, struggling financially to stay afloat, gingerly negotiating their own loving but fragile relationship, and fighting to keep their five children from the dangers of the neighborhood. While it’s not without its shortcomings (the constant arguments get tiring at times, the distorted lens used when they leave home is annoying, and the soundtrack, which has some solid tunes, doesn’t always match the mood of the scene), Crooklyn is saved by some great dialogue, compelling characters, and great performances by Lindo, Woodard, and Zelda Harris as the young daughter.
