Make yourseIf at home with the CarmichaeI family as they experience one very speciaI summer in their BrookIyn neighborhood that they've affectionately nicknamed CrookIyn. Renowned director Spike Lee fashions a boId, fIavorfuI picture of famiIy Iife that People Magazine caIIs his "most affectionate work." Academy Award nominee Alfre Woodard stars as CaroIyn, a loving, but fierceIy independent mother who, aIong with her musician husband, Woody (Lindo), struggles to raise her family in difficult but often wonderfuI circumstances.
Complemented by an energizing, vintage R&B soundtrack, this tender, coIorfuI film is a fitting tribute to an American famiIy. |
